I'd forgotten how much I liked this bit of mech eng but it's all very rusty...
I started off doing Mech Eng too, but I couldn't cope with the Pure Maths so changed degree after the first year. Funnily enough though, the Metallurgy was the one bit of first year Mech Eng that interested me too! Though I've forgotten almost all of it for sure...

Ride an aluminium road bike next to a carbon road bike and you will find there is a hell of a difference.
Ride one alu road bike next to another alu road bike you'll find there is a hell of a difference. Or at least a lot more difference than between an alu bike and a carbon one designed with similar levels of stiffness. Any other difference can only be ascribed to magic (and good old placebo effect).

My kinesis racelight is way more comfortable than the Trek Madone I was racing this season and there was nothing in the stiffness.The madone did handle better belting round the crits though.

Very impressive Alex!
For what it's worth, close examination of the label reveals the tubes were niobium 'doped' assuming that isn't going to make much difference over ''dipped''....
