chromoly

noun

chromoly

noun

Etymology Blend of chromium + molybdenum.

1

A kind of steel alloy containing some chromium and molybdenum.

  • Although chromoly is heavier than aluminum, many riders favor the resilient ride of chromoly over the super-stiff ride of aluminum and are willing to have a slightly heavier bike in exchange for the more comfortable ride.1999, Vic Armijo, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cycling, Penguin, →ISBN, page 68:
