bicycle tubing material, unbiased info please - Page 2

ok, it seems like i should change my topic slightly..

i just thought of an idea for a change to the paper.. you guys think it would make more sense if i took a couple different frames from each material from different compainies and compared them? and then i can show why one frame would be more ideal than the other.. that might work a bit better than what i had earlier..

say, i took the cannondale aluminum track frame and compared it to a another track frame either made of steel or of aluminum that had a radiaclly different design.. hhmm.. think i must about this subject.. but i think if i compare a few specific frames from different companies i might have a better paper..

thanks for the input guys..




oh ya.. i expect that when i post a message on a forum i dont expect to get it graded or criticized by people who i thought would help me.. if you arent going to leave any useful input i would like it if you wouldnt leave anything at all..... no offense intended...

That is like buying fine art based on what brand oil paint was used, since Leonardo Davinci didn't
use Windsor paints so he must be a loser, Kincaid uses Windsor so I'll buy his stuff instead.

Yeah, that would be fiction.

The best way to make a small fortune by running a bike shop is to start with a large fortune.

Hey Lenny, you're in college now. This is the real world and the jerks here are far worse than
anything you could have imagined in high school.

Anyhow, my intent was NOT to be an a**hole towards you. I apologize if you thought that. My post
came out a little gruff. However, I still strongly suggest you learn to use the shift key at the
appropriate times, as well as spell/grammar check and proofread. I know, you're thinking you will on
your paper, but how FREAKIN' hard is it to use a shift key on a usenet posting?? Bad habits will
carry through. I don't know or care what college you're attending, but when I took college courses
(eons ago) anything that remotely resembled what is now "instant messaging style text" would never
receive a passing grade. I know you don't want or need a lecture from some old jerk you don't know
or care anything about so I'll go away now and leave you to your research.

And the best way to do it by being an archeologist is the same, or alternatively you can write "Clan
of the Cave Bear". There is probably an exception like that somewhere in bike shops as well. Like,
start with a big fortune *or* invent the slant parallellogram derailer.

(Okay, veering so far off the topic here it shouldn't even be in this group, but anyway..

"Please do my homework for me - and don't be mean about it". It's not a good idea, when begging for
help from people who have no particular reason to do your research for you, to be snooty about the
tone - or to write in a semiliterate scrawl.

Emily Postnews (required reading for anyone posting on Usenet), while skewering practically every
faux pas that can be committed here, says absolutely nothing about top posting. I've been
participating on Usenet News for over ten years and only recently can I recall anyone getting all
worked up about top posting.

BTW, talk about wandering off-topic! ;-)
