Senior technical editors Ashley Quinlan and Warren Rossiter talk to Chris D’Aluisio, one of Specialized’s tech gurus who’s been at the forefront of aluminium (and carbon) frame development.

In this episode of BikeRadar’s road (and gravel) bike frame materials series, we answer some key questions around aluminium as a bike frame material. What does ‘6061’ mean? How is an alloy frame made? How has design evolved over the years? And could we see an aluminium resurgence in the future?
