cliffs stuff is awesome, the quality is amazing and the finish simply beautiful.

I love question 16.

16 RB: In a world of computer technology and the ever increasing popularity although little known longevity of carbon bike parts, is the sensible long term answer steel and titanium and known quantities?

CP: No, you have to keep an open mind to the future and evolution of materials.

16 RB: You know a bit about materials, please stroke our luddite egos and validate our view that 'steel is real'.

CP: No.
