Chromoly steel frame bicycles

Chromoly steel

— an advanced type of steel (see the relevant paragraph) that has even higher strength and reliability. In addition, frames made of chromium-molybdenum alloys can have different wall thicknesses (depending on the load that a particular area is subjected to) — this allows you to slightly reduce weight. Thanks to this, chromoly steel is found even among fairly advanced road bikes, and they are also popular in touring models. At the same time, such frames cost much more than “ordinary” steel ones.
