The reason there's no fiberglass bicycle frames now is because most of the expense of building a composite frame is the labor, which is the same no matter what fiber you use.

For a fairly-small increase in price (-and the same amount of labor-) you can use carbon instead of glass fiber and get a much-better product in the end.
