Wasn't that 'loyalty oath' thing featured in an episode of M*A*S*H??? Since Hawkeye never signed his, Col Flagg was having him sent home (stateside).

I had to look it but I think it was Sidney Freedman that Flagg (The Wind) was after.

Bikes: Custom Zona c/f tandem + Scott Plasma single
'Drilled' carbon fiber?
Sure . . .
This is the rear bottom bracket on our custom Zona tandem . . . the c/f lugs are drilled (cut out) windows in the c/f lugs.
Rest of the frame is also lugged with cutouts.

Historical question: If we created a timeline of the "drillium period," when would it start, peak, and end?

I think some drillium applied to your water bottle would be far more of a weight saver, or a good laxative.
Nice looking work though, this fad just predates me by a number of years.

Drillium was very evident starting in the 40's with hot rods. 32 Ford's being the holey grail (pun intended). In truth "Drillium" came from the aircraft industry.
