It finally happened-On Velonews.com

[Qui si parla Campagnolo]

First it was aluminum with carbon seat stays, then aluminum with carbon
rear ends, then titanium and steel with carbon back ends and then
titanium lugs with carbon plugs....now...

Cannondale system 6..carbon front with an ALUMINUM rear....yikes,
design run amok..

And the gent that reported and rode it talked about how 'smooth' the
aluminum rear end is(???)...and a propriatary headset, crank(?) great
ideas....I guess they don't remember Fisher, Merlin, Schwinn
propriatary, now non existant stuff....if it's new, it must be good,
right???

"My own impressions
I found in my brief time on the new bike that there is a huge contrast
between the stiffness of the front end and the bottom bracket, and the
smooth ride the rear end provides. This seems to me, to be a
combination that any rider could appreciate, whether they are a paid
professional or a weekend warrior. "

ISTR hearing that in successive issues of that mag, two different
reviewers attributed diametrically opposite characteristics to
aluminum frames in general. I've always just assumed that their
writers don't understand the concept of "it's the design and the
execution, not the materials."

Isaac have been offering a frame, the "force" like this for a couple of
years. The first time I saw one I had a good laugh.

He is trying to show that he knows a lot about music by using his original
last name.

Bob Dylan was born Robert Zimmerman. "Dylan" was a tribute to the poet
of the same name.

That's what he said. Try googling for Robert Zimmerman if you don't
understand.

Hey Chris,

Would you mind posting in this style /all/ the time? It's so much better
than "naked replies" with no quoted text.

Just a friendly suggestion to the friendly Wheelman

Thanks, Bill

Remember, if the bike is expensive, then it's "plush." If it's
inexpensive, then it's "whippy." If the bike is expensive, then it's
"responsive." If it's inexpensive it's "harsh."
