I've been looking around for a new road frame for the past few months and
every single frame seems to have some carbon thrown onto it somewhere or
another. Carbon seat stays, carbon chain stays. All the blurbs claim that
this wonderful bit of carbon will make the frame a dream to ride! Reducing
road vibration, smoothing out the bumps, etc. What gives??? Any truth in
advertising or is this all the more to sell a few more frames?
I remember an article that Sheldon Brown wrote back around the turn of the
century (no not circa 1900, although Sheldon may own a few bikes that old,
circa 2001.) debunking frame material legend and myth.
Any help would be appreciated.
