Don't think so. I ride a Six13 and it is great riding. Esp for big power riders.

most of those bikes use "off the shelf" bonded rear triangles and tubesets from Columbus. I haven't checked recently, but I don't think Columbus is making them anymore.

I think most companies realized it's not a great option.
In many cases, they were bonded together, and the bond would eventually break down.
Cannondale solved that by using cut outs in the aluminum and expanding the carbon into place. They did it on the Six-13 and System-6. It worked very well, and created a very solid platform, but it also eventually wore out. Also, there was an issue with galvanic corrosion between the two materials.

This combo of crabon and steel seems like it would be way better, but I don't think English has made one of this sort in a year or so...
