im not saying I want it, I just wonder where the market focus would go. Would we see a resurgence of hand built frames and wheels?
Heck, Just go all the way and require that all frame tubes must be round in cross section and entirely straight between joints, rims must be metallic, Oh,.....and we could put a gear development limit in place to save the pro's knees and extend their careers.
