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. Carbon might be flashier and titanium more desirable, but aluminium provides a stiff and comfortable ride and is often the best value proposition, ideal if you're on a budget and want the best bang for your buck. 

So sit back and hit play on the video above and watch as we present six fantastic aluminium road bikes from Mason, Kinesis, Cannondale, Condor, Bowman and Vitus

He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.

The mason looks like it's been washed with a scouring pad... #verysadface  - Get the buffing kit out!

Makes for very enjoyable viewing when I've just received a Vitus Zenium SL Pro Disc Ultegra 2017, essentially just one-up from the one at the end of the video.  Hopefully they didn't manage to ruin it in any way.

Absolute bargain at £1100 on CRC at the moment, though only 50cm and 56cm left.

You bastard 1 That's the bike I needed. Instead I spent a day tussling between getting a 60cm or a 56, 56 it was in the end.
