By next Christmas everyone will have donated their CF bicycles to the
poor, and will be buying replacements made of this new alloy.

That would be welcome news for windsurfers. Carbon-fiber booms and
masts have gone out of sight since the aircraft industry bid up the
price of carbon fiber..... so maybe the aircraft industry will
transition over to the new stuff if/when the cost ever becomes
competitive.


Are there Chinese windsurf suppliers?

And we pause to note the previous industry takeovers by cast
magnesium (Kirk Precision) and beryllium (Beyond
Fabrications). As the great sage Yogi Berra quipped, it's
hard to make predictions, especially about the future.
