He said that pro teams replace their framesets generally each race because they cannot take the chance injuring a rider with a failure. This is a famous Italian marque that has made bicycles since 1957. So the opinion of the factory should bear some weight.


Nonsense. There are 5 to 8 riders on each team at every race. So after every single rice/race, the bikes would need to be stripped and rebuilt with a new frame. We think of pro racing teams as being bottomless pits of money. But they are not. They have budgets and expenses and try to turn a profit. Every pro team would need to hire 2-3-4 extra mechanics permanently just to rebuild and strip frame after every single ride. This would be an extra half million dollars added to the budget. I know that sounds like a piddle amount to rich folks. But it adds up quickly. Half the pro bike teams would be out of business because they cannot stand that kind of expense. And pro bike sponsors would also stop sponsoring because giving away thousands of frames for free every year would not be worth the cost. I encourage you trumpians to at least add some believability to your lies. At least make your lies close or within sight of the truth.

Why don't you tell us all how long you've been making bicycles? Seems to me that only a moron will tell us that the factory doesn't know what they're talking about.

We're not doubting what "the factory" said. We're doubting what _you_
said. Since you're the one reporting that conversation with "the
factory" we have no way of knowing what "the factory" actually said.

To put it as charitably as possible: You tend to forget things.

More charitably - you've never worked as a real engineer. You've never been anything more than a school teacher. So yammer away as if you had some sort of knowledge that you do not.

Tom, do you even know what a P.E. is? never mind what the required
qualifications are, do you just know what the initials mean?
