note from your local airplane building friend; the new airplanes have METAL frames.Originally Posted by northstar
And yes, carbon does have certain risks, but as you probably know, they make airplanes out of the stuff.
the carbon fiber is not weight bearing.

Trek 5000
Hey Rachelroo -
Michelle from Florida here. I am shopping for a WSD road bike. I have a TREK 7.2 FX WSD hybrid but am training (like you) for a TNT Century Ride. I have been told that a road bike will increase my performance tremendously. I looked at the WSD bike article on this web site and have been researching Cannondale, Bianchi, Giant, Specialized, and of course TREK. I am orginally from WI and a big fan of TREK, but want the best bike for my money. I see your original post was from May. Did you get the 5000? What do you think? Many thanks for your input and GOOD LUCK in HI!
Michelle
