Cheers for this - but it was definitely about their ability to tell the difference in frame materials (essentially, in my reading anyway, undermining a lot of the nonsense spoken in Bikeradar about the 'feel of the ride' of a bike etc) - I think the conclusion was that only tyres and contact points really make an appreciable difference to the feel of a ride...

If we're thinking of the same thing, it was in the last 2 or 3 years, and wasn't so much a 'science report that suggests participants in an experiment couldn't tell the difference between different bike frame materials' more of a 'different frame materials didn't make a huge amount of difference time-wise to someone's commute'.
Somewhat unhelpfully, A) I'm struggling to pinpoint it and B) You may have something different in mind.
