Light Touring Bicycle Frames

cbike.com carries an extensive line of high quality frames, including light touring and rugged road bike frames. The two prime materials for creating lightweight frame designs are titanium and carbon fiber. Both have their advantages. Carbon fiber touring bicycle frames are the lightest but they are more expensive. Such a frame is also dependant on its design for strength, so a poor design will be weaker. Titanium bike frames are slightly heavier but, like carbon fiber, completely rust proof. Either choice can be a good one, depending on your preferences and needs. cbike.com has many styles available from several great manufacturers such as Colnago and ISAAC. All they need is a fine performance group, such as a SRAM RED speed group, and you will have a high performance machine.

Everyday road bikes have different requirements than touring bicycle frames. A bicycle that you ride on the streets everyday needs to be durable and resilient. Many people find that steel makes an excellent material for road bike frames. It is heavier than carbon fiber, titanium and even aluminum, but it is strong. Also, many cyclists find that they prefer to train with a heavier frame to help build their strength and endurance. cbike.com has a range of high quality steel frames, from brands such as Pegoretti. Search the collection today to see which frame is right for you.

Although complete bicycles are available, many people prefer to assemble their own bike. After you select a frame, it is time to choose the proper group for your needs. SRAM enjoys an excellent reputation and with good reason. cbike.com is proud to carry their latest offering: the SRAM RED group. RAM and FORCE groups are still available as well.
