Hah, what really finished off that well used fourteen year old frame was cutting it half.

I've got 6 carbon bikes at the moment and i couldn't tell you what any of them look like on the inside (although the seat tube on by Bianchi definitely isn't round) nor do i care that much. I either like the way they ride and look or i don't. There are plenty of guys chopping up bikes on you tube at the moment for engineering purists but as long a frame isn't dangerous to ride if i like how it rides, looks and i can afford it I'll buy it anyway. A C-series i still firmly on my desired list.

Yeah I think that video is a bit odd. A lot of tut-tutting but it survived the genesis of full carbon bikes and lasted fourteen years and probably more than one crash before it was sliced up and critiqued for not meeting contemporary standards. Dull.
