Long live carbon!

From slowtwitch on interbike:

"In the certain resulting global market shift, the biggest losers will be factories devoted to fabricating out of aluminum. Good looking monocoque carbon frames are now available out of the Orient for $250 a-pop, if you buy enough of them. Just wait until more football-field-sized pre-preg factories are built in China, accommoding both the bike biz and the Airbuses (the latter of which are sucking up much of the carbon nowadays, causing shortages that currently push up the carbon price, but only in the sort term). Steel is dead. Aluminum is dieing. Long live carbon."
