Looks to be the norm now huh? Any teams riding AL, or scandium, or Ti frames?
And here's a stretch - any team or rider still on a steel frame??

Liquigas has the option of full carbon, full scandium (aluminum) or a hybrid.the Inbred said:liquigas frames are aluminum with carbon rears. guy had one built up at the shop...liquigas frame/ fork with full Record. think he paid $3000 (it was a show bike). only difference is the Tour frames don't have paint...100gr weight savings.
ahahhahahhahahahahhahahah *breathe* ahahhahahaGotMyGED said:I can't imagine trying to compete with the best in the world on a Ti frame. Like racing a wet noodle.
They're actually on a new carbon frame this year. Pretty fugly if you ask me, but whatever, it's not my bike.splat said:AG2R , used to and I believe still does ride Aluminum. because the Sponser ( decathalon ) out right sells that model to consumers
Wow... that's pretty cheap for a Pro-frame w/ full Record...the Inbred said:liquigas frames are aluminum with carbon rears. guy had one built up at the shop...liquigas frame/ fork with full Record. think he paid $3000 (it was a show bike).
Here's the Decathalon carbon bike:Just James said:They're actually on a new carbon frame this year. Pretty fugly if you ask me, but whatever, it's not my bike.
Supposed to be decently light anyway.
I find it funny you would trust CF on a fork but not the rest of the bike.The Toninator said:carbon fork - yes
carbon stays - maybe
full carbon - no it still wont last
