This is because height tensile steel is strong in nature means it is very hard to break & even cycle remain's for a very long period of time as it is manufactured. lets talk its pros & cons.
Pros:-
1. It is very hard to break tensile steel.
2. Cycle remains for a long time as chances for breaking that are less.
3. This kind of steel is not easy to break.
4. Life of a cycle increase as we use this.
Cons:-
1. Cycle become very heavy.
2. This kind of cycles can't easily handle by the child.
3. Its color may fake some time that effects outer appearance of cycle.

Copper is too soft, and not springy enough to make a good bicycle frame. You'd need to use really chunky pipes to get it strong enough, which would make it heavy. On top of that it's more expensive than steel, which is a better material for a frame to start with.

What is the function of Chromoly?
Chromoly (often spelled cromoly) is an abbreviation for "chromium-molybdenum steel". Chromoly is an alloy used to produce tubing for bicycle frames and race-car roll cages. It is not as lightweight as some steel alloys, but has the advantages of high tensile strength and malleability. It is also easily welded and is considerably stronger and more durable than standard (1020) steel tubing. It is also known as 4130 steel, and is composed of 0.28 to 0.33% carbon, 0.4 to 0.6% manganese, 0.8 to 1.1% chromium, 0.15 to 0.25% molybdenum, 0.04% phosphorus, 0.04% sulfur, and 0.2 to 0.35% silicon, in addition to iron.

What aluminium is used to make bicycle frames?
Both 6000- and 7000-series alloys can be used for bike frames.
What are standard bicycle frames commonly made out of?
The most common metal used for standard bicycle frames is steel, although it is possible to get frames made from graphite, aluminum, and titanium alloy.
Are composites used for bicycle frames?
Oh sure. Carbon fiber frames are composites, and quite popular.
Can steel tubing be brazed?
Certainly, it is frequently done with silver, brass, and bronze brazing alloys. Brazing steel tubes used to be the predominate method of manufacturing bicycle frames, and some high-end ones are still made that way.
What is stainless steal tubing used for?
Stainless steel tubing can have a variety of uses from being used as conduit for electrical wire, transfer of fluids, be sliced into rings, bent and used as supports in frames, ect.
Can wood be used to make the frame of bicycle Why?
Wood has been used to build a bicycle in the past. Though metal tubing, composite carbon fibre, and plastics are usually used nowadays.
What materials are used to manufacture modern bicycle frames?
Either steel, aluminum, or titanium.
How much do bike frames cost without any other accessories?
Looking to purchase a bicycle frame without the accessories? Not all bicycle frames are made the same, therefore a low-quality bicycle frame can be purchased used for as low as 99 cents on ebay, while better quality frames may cost a few hundred dollars.
Which MAFR frame is used?
Bicycle frames are made of alloys, carbon fiber, steel, titanium, or bamboo.
