While I'm sure that Velonews has some good research to back their statements, I've seen many more carbon frames fail than AL (and I would be curious to see where they got their info, off I go to find the article).
I'm curious to see this article too. The problem is that people assume that there are problems, and then it gets perpetuated, and suddenly everyone believes it.
There are very few creditable sources saying that AL bikes have failed.
But I'm waiting for the name caller to PM me with a phone number to the bike shop that has all the failed Al frames.
I've asked 8 bike shops in San Deigo.
There's been 2 failures. One after a car crash (the guy bent it back himself).
One was a suspect weld.
Kind of makes you want to raise the BS flag.
