Hey guys, so in my research to find a new bike frame im finding lots of different materials being thrown around... and after trying to find things on these forums with no avail i assumed I would make a post...

So Im looking into new frame sets, and asides from what that little remarks i read on here about Chromoly Frames or aluminum or whatever I have no idea what the advantages or disadvantages are for the most part... Some common frame material I've been seeing is... (off the top of my head)

Chromoly 4130
Reynolds 631 Steel
Reynolds 530 Steel
Assorted Aluminums

It seems like the Reynolds frames are the lightest, but is it the strongest? Theres alot of talk about Chromoly being preferred in most cases... is the true? any information helps.
