Strengths:    This bike is very strong and is not as whippy as Ti. If you like steel you will love Aeromet.

Bottom Line:   
I am selling a DEAN aeromet frame. Size is 20.5 in. 350.00 or offer. This frame is light, strong, and RARE! Some scratches. Email for more info. Comes with DEAN post and stem and a BB.

Submitted by RTH a Cross-Country Rider from Edmonton

Date Reviewed: June 10, 1999

Strengths:    
Extremely strong.
Resilient like steel.
Very light


Weaknesses:    
Very hard to find an aermet frame because the material is so difficult to work with in the manufacturing process.


Bottom Line:   
This is a discontinued frame. Aermet is a material developed for manufacture of jet fighter landing gear. It is the strongest metal going, bar none. Aermet is much stronger than steel, aluminum, carbon fiber or titanium. Yet it is resilient like titanium, corrosion proof and as light as Ti. Translation -- this frame has excellent weight characteristics, a supple ride, is very light, and is virtually indestructible. It is a frame for a lifetime.
