So I've seen a number of those aluminum lugged / carbon tube frames from the early 90's on the local buy and sell marketplaces over the past years and wonder what people think of them? I remember thinking they were very cool BITD, but now I am completely biased against them as a potential vintage acquisition (based on absolutely no real world experience with them). Examples include the Giant/Cadex bikes, US based Raleigh Technium bikes and I just saw a nice condition Trek example for sale.
I'm wondering what people who actually owned these bikes think? Were they nice bikes to ride? Will the bonded carbon / aluminum technology stand the test of time?
