one could still have a competitive *frame* that's much more durable. But, hanging a bunch of carbon parts off a steel frame (which you'd need to in order to get the bike into the "competitive" 15-17 pound range) still renders the complete bike less durable. For reference, my lugged steel cyclocross bike weighs in at about 17lbs with a carbon fork and carbon wheels. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
