So I work washing bikes at my local quarry, so im exposed to alot of downhill, cross country and other types of mountain bikes. What ive notice is that the frames tend to be made out of aluminium which took me by suprise. Aluminium is a bitch to weld, and its not as strong as cromo, so why for something as brutal as say downhil would you not use cromo? I know aluminium is alot lighter, but it doesnt seem like the sort of sport where weight weenies dominate. They dont even all use 7xxx series if im right... Just interested to see if anyone knows.. Also, kinda off topic, but I saw a carbon fibre frame the other day, it looked sweeeeet. They guy picked it up for £1,500 off eBay. I know, csb
