A fair bit has been said, and written, about frame materials. I guess this is a subject that is going to be discussed, and argued for ever.
I would like to do tests with bikes made of all sort of materials, including the ones made out of bamboo, like the Panda. Because that is not going to happen soon, I have to go by what I read and by the advices of experienced cyclists out there.
At the moment, for the cobbles, I am looking at this frame by the German company, Fixie Inc.
Wheels? That is another story...

Why acquire a steel frame when there are many reputable carbon frames that have covered the course successfully?
The carbon frames used at P-R are very expensive. I think a low/mid of the range steel frame will cope better with the rough P-R ride.
I meant "cope well", not "better".
A bamboo bike. You certainly struck a chord with me on this one. I miss my bamboo plants, I will have to plant some more bamboo at my new house. I know bamboo is great for construction but I never would have thought this was possible. Love it.
