Before you ask, Pedal Force has already been bugged and said there "will not be another group buy this year."

Not going to happen. Cervelo has a strong allegiance to IBD, you can't even warranty their frames unless you bough it from an authorized dealer. However, phallenthoul can get you a carbon frame*.

Has anyone taken the lead on this? I'm guessing no. Do you guys think there's enough demand for at least 20-30 framesets?

If someone can get a group buy for a good but relatively inexpensive TT frame, I'd be interested but I don't think there would be enough interest. Maybe if you approach Tri guys too?

How many people out there are interested in a carbon frame? If 20-30 people were interested I'm sure something could be sourced.

Depending on price, I could see myself buying a carbon frame.

FWIW, there's too much variance in what people want. From this post so far, it seems people are looking for cyclocross, tt, steel, and carbon frame. Unless the group buy of 30 people can get whatever they want, it's probably not going to happen because not everyone is wanting a carbon frame.

Everyone wants a carbon frame. Issue resolved.

Patrick is in the process of offering his own frames. Please do not mention specific brands, since he is not in any way affiliated with the one previously named. It only causes confusion and issues with the brand owners.
