Which fixie has the lighter frame?

What those this means on a fixie bike frame?

  • Hello! im trying to buy a fixie frame online (single speed bike) but the frame is Aluminium 6061T6...what does 6061T6 means? that it is heavy or light ? does someone knows? THANK YOU!

  • Answer:

    In a nut shell, aluminum series 60XX and 70XX will weight about the same, and offer some marginal differences in frame life. I preffer the 70XX series but I probably paid more for it. You should not be concerned. What others said about what the manufacturer did with the aluminum is true. Any aluminum frame will be lighter than a steel frame of similar shape and price. Since you didn't mention what brand and model you are looking into. There is not much we can help with. For fixie that will be used in the velodrome, aluminum should be fine but for a fixie that will be used for tricks, I would suggest steel though. Steel flexes (a bit like a spring) while aluminum cracks.
