bump ( awesome thread )
But I have a question of my own... Why not make carbonfiber-wrapped steel frames and forks. You'd be able to make extremely small/thin tubes that will be extremely strong. Sure, it'll weigh maybe a tiny bit more than a full CF bike, but it will last a lifetime and never rust.
PS: is it possible to unwrap CF from that kind of biek, to wrap new sheets of CF around the original core steel frame?
+1 on the sticky. There could be a little bit more meat on it, though.
