Getting back to the Bilaminate Dampening, Bill introduced that terminology to me last September in his guest correspondent spot on my blog that you can read here.

Santana Inc. submitted the Trademark application for Bilaminate Dampening in early February and in reading the quoted copy above regarding "weighs less than zero" I think someone may have botched an editing attempt on Santana's marketing data. The typical "spin" that I've seen used with the Exogrid tubing is that you gain vibration dampening and shock-absorbing characteristics while reducing overall frame weight. Sounds a lot like composites, so it will definitely be interesting to hear how the Exogrid tubing is compared and contrasted with the composite frames that were testing using ******.
