Tubing (frame)
From WikiPedalia
Traditional bicycle frames are built out of metal tubing, generally aluminum, steel or titanium.
The oldest material for this is steel of one sort or another. See also chrome-moly, gas pipe, high tension
Some noted brands/models of steel tubing for bicycle use include: Reynolds 531, 753, 853 (England), Vitus (France), Columbus (Italy) Ishiwata and Tange (Japan) and TrueTemper (U.S.A.)
Steel bicycles are built by joining the tubes either with lugs, welding, or fillet brazing. Only welding is used for aluminum or titanium frames.
