I'm not familiar with a 7000 aluminum, and don't think such an alloy is
used in making bicycle frames. 7xxx aluminum alloys like 7075 are
often referred to as "7000 series," which distinguishes them from
"6000 series" alloys like 6061, and "2000 series" aluminums like
2014.

If you want to know the specific material properties of a specific aluminum
alloy, you can look it up on the web pretty easily. It may not tell you much
about strength or durability of the actual bike frame though.

That's what I say, what's the difference?

Now that really is a sound discussion of the subject. Well done Mr Nicol.

Mr. Nicol? I would have thought he would have published that under Chuck Ibis.
