WHAT?? bending what 40cm of steel by 3mm? I think even that leverage is within the elastic limit of aluminium. Although, an oversized tube made from aluminium is likely too stiff to be flexed by such an extent by your mortal means. Quote from Bike Snob: "Personally, I ...

Summertime I prefer shorts. In the winter I have a set of wool dress pants I cut and stitched into shants that work great and cost me 5 dollars. Paying 100+ dollars for pants with the bottoms cut off seems silly to me
