Default aluminum frames? -- not a troll

As an aside, I think it's rather odd that we spend so much time and
money researching plane accidents. The number of people dying in
plane crashes is so incredibly small. And yet we spend billions on
maintenance, investigations etc. Meanwhile, SUV's are rolling over
after hitting a pop can killing thousands every year and there's been
little legislation about these incidents. I guess it's the horror
factor..


You're thinking of the actual damage. Focus on the potential damage.

And that's a bad thing how???

The more SUVs that roll over, or explode, or otherwise discombobulate the
better, IMHO. Same goes for the morons who choose to drive them.

Apparently he doesn't sell aluminum, period. BRBR

Sounds backwards...

andres- You are right, and probably the most expensive ones are the most
unreliable. The cheap, heavy ones, made in aisa are reliable. They are
not really that heavy either. BRBR

I agree...weigh about what a comparable steel frameset weighs...about 3.7
pounds...

However, they'll make a reliable inexpensive bike that can be
raceworthy. BRBR

Agree again...seems all materials suffer from 'this guy told me that'.....
