So the minute I saw your Steelman I liked it.
As for you turning to the dark side, NAAAAH! I bought a new, all carbon frame, leftover Giant OCR-C3 today. Now THAT'S turning to the dark side. I think I'll buy a Darth Vader helmet to go with it.
I've already been teased a bit about the next bike being CF. I don't think that's coming anytime soon. I like my bikes to last at least my lifetime, and maybe be in the will as riders for the next curmudgeon in the linage (well, actually they are!).
