Then that would lead us to believe that every buyer who 'buys' high tech components that are
sometimes hard to get, sometimes limited, and often more expensive, are doing it because its cool!?
Also, Carbon Fibre is ABSOLUTELY lighter, stronger, and more durable than Aluminum.
Unbelievable. I mean, I am just stunned at the lack of investigation, and truth.
I suggest that those who are under the assumption of the above stated theory..
should enroll in a engineering and physics course at your college.
How about some proof for any of these arrogant statements genius? Sure NASA uses carbon fibre, for heat shielding on re-entry. F1 is not cycling, they have completely different parameters of design, and they have a lifespan of 400 miles for parts. Try a book.
Look to reality and pro bike racers, CF is not as common as you might think, and they are not budget conscious.
