That really is the trouble with aluminium frames, as once they are stuffed they are pretty useless as lightweight is no good when it comes to weighing the stuff in as scrap.
Hmmm, that's a thought I wonder what is worth more as scrap, a retro cromoly steel frame or a modern aluminium frame.
Finally Anthony you have answered the great question that has plagued me for years, nay decades! I could never figure out how the ying & yang of cycling could stay in balance when all I ever meet in the hills & forums roll are top, top people - how could this be so? I pondered, where is the Muller effect? Perhaps outside of the two-wheeled fraternity all together, but that doesn't make any sense? But now, here, in just one photo, you have demonstrated without a shadow of a doubt where the enormous yanger to balance out the millions of good & wholesome folks is, and I thank you
What a yanger.
How badly did it effect Trek's sales? Are even still in business? Can me have a caption competition please?
"And what? Do I just throw at the damn foreigners? How does it detonate...?"
