Six of the best aluminium road bikes - from Mason, Kinesis, Cannondale, Condor, Bowman and Vitus
There's still life in aluminium, and there has never been a better time to buy an aluminium road bike, as these six bikes we've reviewed here at road.cc prove.

David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK.
