@aniki Agreed ! Carbon isn't inherently flawed, it's even a great material used in aircraft industry etc, but the way it is (mass) produced for cycling makes it potencially unreliable, obvioulsy polluting etc. Unfortunately by looking around the internet, you can find as many examples of it's toughness as it's weakness. I would rather avoid it, but i can probably live with it as well :)
@Lolo didn't know about that uncompatibility, i will look into this. Regarding weight, by choosing steel over carbon i already accept this flaw :)
@r.hobbs yep several could match in terms of looks but i didn't find any with the correct AtoC / Offset measurements...
@cake yes this was on my list (pending legs thickness measurements, seems a bit slim on some pics) but it seems sold out !
