Cool new material for bike frames… if you have $7000 to drop on the frame alone, at least. I guess if you're rich and like bleeding edge techie stuff, it'd be worth the money.

Pretty light until 15 pounds of mud gets trapped in that thing.

Until you bail on (enter rocky trail of your choosing here) and nick the carbon, then it's a $7000 paperweight. And a fugly one, at that.
