Hah! You young guns don't know how lucky you are. Back in my day we had to walk on our hands to the local bronze mine and dig a hole with a spoon to extract the ore. Next we refined it by burning our own skin as fuel and using our hands as the molten metal trough. We brazed the tubes using metal extracted from our own dental fillings. Those bronze frames were built to last, unlike these silly 'aero' steel frames you get nowadays!</p> <p>On a slightly more serious note I predict aerogels will at some point be used to build frames. As well as making carbon fibre look like Neutronium (look it up!) they also make your bike transparent and thus less likely to be stolen - or more likely to get lost, depending on your perspective. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10593#post-116095 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 21:44:56 +0000 crowriver 116095@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Steel is timeless...</em></p> <p>Until it rusts. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10593#post-116092 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 21:39:32 +0000 wingpig 116092@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It'll be frames custom-grown from structural proteins next, or perhaps chitin. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10593#post-116090 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 21:33:29 +0000 chdot 116090@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cardboard is 1950s. </p> <p>Steel is timeless... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10593#post-116089 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 21:30:58 +0000 SRD 116089@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Try cardboard instead: </p> <p><a href="http://inhabitat.com/cardboard-technologies-looks-to-begin-production-of-10-cardboard-bicycle/cardboard-bike-2/?extend=1" rel="nofollow">http://inhabitat.com/cardboard-technologies-looks-to-begin-production-of-10-cardboard-bicycle/cardboard-bike-2/?extend=1</a> </p>
