I expect specialist hill climbers might like them, as some go to great lengths to reduce bike weight. So how many short high intensity time trials will these marvels of CNC machining withstand? I imagine they've run some FEA and decided appropriate torsional strength and stiffness but that's as manufactured, not after a handful of hill climbs.
