Wow, guys, I didn't mean to start a holy war over the engineering properties of plastics. While my use of the term "plastic" may or may not have been technically correct, the essence of it is that people, whether right or not, often refer to carbon bikes as "plastic". Therefore, I use the term loosely under that pretext. Besides, I couldn't think of a good word that rhymes with "polymer bonded carbon" that has the same meaning.

And while the use of these catch phrases may in fact be kind-of ghey (not that there's anything wrong with that), the way I see it... we cyclists wear tight spandex in bright loud colors and shave our legs. Think about that for a second...
