Actually, alloy has seen a resurgence for two reasons.

(although there is a glut of low modulus Chinese carbon that has found its way into the bike industry, among others).

Of course I read facts about CF so I know all about the other side of the coin, but you refuse to read the other side of the coin in regards to the negatives of CF, I least I read both sides and understand the issues and made my decision based on those, you just made your decision by marketing pressures.
In fact, (yes, I meant it) in one article the author admits to not even owning a carbon bike but bases his opinion on the opinions of his customers. Second hand opinions are now facts? Enjoy whatever bike you bought and I support your absolute right to freely choose to buy whatever you want for whatever reason but, based on your posts, facts were not involved in any way in your decision. |
Hey guys I don't own a carbon bike but I met some cool dudes and they all told me they were on steel bikes because having a carbon one means that there's a 50/50 chance they won't make it back home alive on their next ride. They said carbon is a devil product created by the insurance companies as now whenever you apply for life insurance the first question they will ask is if you own a carbon bike. Ohh and also Obama loves carbon!
