And I don't like the idea of the exogrid style for a couple reasons. If it is glued in the full length, it won't let the carbon do its job. If it isn't glued the full length, it is an open spot for grit to get into. Unless they use a flexible adhesive, which I don't see doing in this application.
I know people are still doing it but still the actual frame is unlikely to last as long as just a pure Ti-alloy frame.

I personally just like the look of the Exogrid I don't know how well it would work.
