Steel doesn't have fatigue issues.Īll times are GMT -6. 2009 GIANT FARRAGO RRP999 Features: Nice CHOCOLATE Color Strong and Lightweight Aluminum frame Size 17 View Images 199 VERY LIGHT Hybrid bike 700c Excellent mechanical condition. Most people retire their aluminum bicycles prior to the point of fatigue. Due to the frame materials and other factors, we estimate that this bike weighs around 30 pounds. It was released in 2000 and costs 400 brand new. The frame comes in colors like graphite, Optic Berry and Arctic Blue / tungsten. If the aluminum framed bike has been in constant use for many years, there will come at time when it will experience fatigue and fail. The 2000 Giant Farrago is a hybrid bike with an aluminum Giant ALUXX T-6 frame. In your case, I would suppose that they both are decent bikes.

If an older bike rides smoothly, then yes, it's a "decent" bike. Therefore, to answer your "decent" bike question. For example, Shimano's 105 two years ago, is the equivalent of today's Tiagra, a lower tier gruppo than Shimano's 105 gruppo. It's quite possible that a bicycle considered to have lower tier components today, may very well have better components than what was considered to be of a higher tier many years ago. Therefore, bicycle companies have one base price for a model bike frame with lower tier components attached, and a higher price for that same bicycle frame, with higher priced components. Usually, the more expensive the components, the better the whole bike operates. Since most frames are strong and have strong bonds at their weld points, the only other requirement is that their components function properly. What makes for a decent bicycle in most cases, are it's components. This is my wife's first bike in a while, both are in immaculate condition so they look and operate well. I guess I should have also asked if these were decent quality bikes.
