- midoridensha 3y agoI've seen no evidence that aluminum bikes don't last a few decades. Frame failure is not a common failure mode in bicycles.
- wiredfool 3y agoI've had two frames fail with fatigue cracks at ~ 10k miles or less. One steel (at the chainstay bridge weld) and one aluminum (at the seat tube/bottom bracket weld).
