    Unless lighter and stronger materials can be mass produced (I heard a few days ago chinese scientists managed to find a way to produce steel cutting 90% of carbon, and like 2-3 years ago about lighter steel from Taiwan and/or MIT) I just can’t imagine any serious breaking innovation in bicycle manufacturing. All this “revolutionary” bicycles seem to always go to shit because, well, they all are shit.

      They had bicycles made from 4130 chromoly aircraft steel back in 1974. Half the weight of plain steel and twice as strong. I actually own one made in 1981.

      Just like carbon fiber is supposed to be the way of the future, we all saw what happened with that submarine ☹️💀

        You don’t ride carbon fiber bikes because some idiot ignored the rules for building submarines?

          No, I don’t ride carbon fiber bikes because I ride BMX flatland and don’t want to die while performing tricks. Why would I knowingly ride on a brittle frame, knowing the stresses my style of riding put on a bike?

          Carbon fiber clearly is not stronger. 1974 metals are stronger, why deviate from proven materials?

          Okay, no worries. If I had seen that video first, I would have probably posted that link instead. But I didn’t, so I’m leaving the original link I posted.

          No biggie 🤷‍♂️
