When did they start making alloy bike frames?

Alloys are metals with other elements added to improve properties like strength or stiffness. Alloy frames are a relatively recent introduction to the world of bicycling. While models of aluminum bikes date from as far back as the 1890s, issues with mass production and joining aluminum tubing safely prevented their mass production until 1983.

FIFTY-FIFTY has been designing and manufacturing mountain bike parts since 2012. Its main focus is delivering heavy-duty and high-quality components at an affordable price. Their bike stems were created for 1-1/8 steering tubes and 31.8mm handlebars. They were also designed to help you get the most out of your bike in terms of performance and comfort. Speed and durability are a must when it comes to mountain bikes and so the stems were analyzed and engineered in order to create a product that will not break or bend under stress. They are also lightweight and made of 6061T6 aluminum.
