Just like S3, our tubing blend is multi-shaped and hardened. Because of the multi-shaping and increased hardness, we can use very thin tubing to get the same performance as a traditional steel frame, which has to use thicker tubing. Rodriguez and Erickson ultra-light frames have a well deserved reputation as excellent climbing bikes. Because of the comfort of riding steel, you'll be able to descend more confidently as well. A Rodriguez ultra-light frame rides so lively that it will convert a carbon fiend in one ride! The ovalized shape of the over-sized, thin-wall down tube provides the lateral rigidity that you'll need to climb any grade!
