Re: custom frame ideas (exotic materials!)




why dont we just use wood? that'd be a story to tell the latter day
unicyclists of the future,

"when i was your age, i wittled all my frames! and Pluto was a planet!"

"punk kids with their plasma tube/carbon fiber bamboo frames!"

really, at the point, the difference between weight and strength is
good. but, like any person whos gone through a metal tech class, when
steel gets stronger, it will just end up snapping it. Like, if you heat
treat a peice of steel a lot, if you hit it on the ground, the edge isnt
gonna bend, its gonna just snap and chip.
