Magnesium, Titanium
Bicycle frames are sometimes made of an alloy that contains aluminum and vanadium.
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.
Frames that can bend and not break as easily
Bicycle frames are sometimes made of materials such as steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, and titanium.

The EN14781 specialized standard for bicycle frames outlines specific requirements for materials, design, construction, and testing of bicycle frames. These requirements ensure that frames meet safety and performance standards for durability and strength.
Motobecane frames are made by Kinesis in Taiwan. Kinesis also makes the bicycle frames for Jamis, Specialized, Schwinn, Felt, and other well known bicycle brands.
The most durable and lightweight materials used in manufacturing bicycle frames are carbon fiber and titanium.
Magnesium, particularly in an aluminum-magnesium alloy makes for light, stiff frames.
Oh sure. Carbon fiber frames are composites, and quite popular.
These days - usually not.
Both 6000- and 7000-series alloys can be used for bike frames.
