He said that pro teams replace their framesets generally each

Nonsense. There are 5 to 8 riders on each team at every race. So
after every single rice/race, the bikes would need to be stripped
and rebuilt with a new frame. We think of pro racing teams as
being bottomless pits of money. But they are not. They have
budgets and expenses and try to turn a profit. Every pro team
would need to hire 2-3-4 extra mechanics permanently just to
rebuild and strip frame after every single ride. This would be an
extra half million dollars added to the budget. I know that sounds
like a piddle amount to rich folks. But it adds up quickly. Half
the pro bike teams would be out of business because they cannot
stand that kind of expense. And pro bike sponsors would also stop
sponsoring because giving away thousands of frames for free every
year would not be worth the cost. I encourage you trumpians to at
least add some believability to your lies. At least make your lies
close or within sight of the truth.

Why don't you tell us all how long you've been making bicycles? Seems
to me that only a moron will tell us that the factory doesn't know
what they're talking about. So how long have you been making bicycles
and of what materials?


Most of them have two bikes. A frame may be discarded after a serious
crash or at the end of a season. Generally not before. Certainly not
after every race.
