In about 15 minutes I could, it's all ideal gas you know. Introducing slip angle means either you're trying to throw up smokescreens or you just wandering all over the place. In either case, that's where I stop reading.

The original post raised the question of effects of frame material on ride quality, but showed no thought on how to separate design effects from material ones. There is plenty of factual information on material properties of common bicycle materials. The problem is interpreting them in light of the infinite possible design space.
