This is True Temper's high quality 4130 cro-moly tubing. All cro-moly frames are not equal. I'm sure you'll see a lot of cro-moly frames out there in the industry, but realize that a cro-moly frame can be heavy or light.

A Rodriguez frame built with this tubing will be lighter weight than a mass-produced frame made from generic cro-moly tubing. Most mass produced cro-moly frames will weigh around 5 to 5.5 pounds. This is because they use lower grade cro-moly for the 3 main tubes only (seat, top and down tube), and then often use a much heavier high-tensile steel for the rest of the bike.

When we build a Rodrigez frame from Verus, the whole frame is high grade True Temper cro-moly. Final weights vary depending on frame size and type, but a recently built medium sized (6S) Rodriguez Navigator sport frame weighed just under 4 pounds (3 pounds 12 ounces). This is a very respectable weight for the price.
