So do you believe a car with a steel body would have ride characteristics resulting purely from the body being made of steel which could not be replicated with a body made of another material?
I do like the way you shift back and forth between automobiles and bicycles in your examples depending on which you think you can better twist to suit your argument.
I dont have an argument.... you have an argument. I dont understand what you are trying to prove by nit picking wording on an internet forum. Yes materials have different properties? is that what you want to hear?
I really could care less what you think, my post was intended to inspire a slightly higer level of thinking on BF compared to the typical "carbon rides better" comments. If you think we should go back to that, by all means, feel free.
If you could refrain from posting again in this thread, it would be greatly appreciated.
