Most winters, I take on a scratch build. This year I am fortunate to have two frames to choose from. The build is intended for personal use at a level aimed purely for pleasure. I could go towards a multi purpose hybrid, or an out and out off roader. The frames I have to choose from are both aluminium, are in pretty similar condition, and are both already mine. One is for 29" or 700c wheels, & the other for 26" wheels. The 26er is made of 6061 grade ally, but the other is made of 7005 grade. Oddly the 6061 is over 1/2 a kilo lighter . My question is, will I, as a leisure cyclist, notice the difference in the ride quality by going for the higher grade ally frame, or am I likely to benefit more from the lighter frame choice. ? ? ? answers on a postcard...... no, seriously, any have an opinion ? ?
