I have read many of the previous posts discussing the merits of traditional vs compact frames, and I am not opening up that can of worms.
My question is whether any of you have seen evidence that the trend for compact frames has maxed out or will be ending soon?
I am looking at purchasing a new carbon fiber bike. Some that I am considering (particularly the Look 555) have a compact design. The Look 555 is a new for 2005 design.
Am I spending $$$ on a trend that has the same future as Biopace/Softride/etc.?
