Your right about all of the above. But that doesn't necessarily translate into bike sales. I'd like to see the sales figures for the different Lemond frame materials because I see the steel ones on road fairly often but not so much anything else, and that's also what the people in thread appear to be most interested in. I don't know why a future Lemond frame building venture wouldn't involve what sold well in the past and what posters here seem to miss in the marketplace.

To go state of the art would require some pretty deep pockets which I don't think Greg has or another partner like Trek. Otherwise, it won't happen.
