This is very neat, but the mentioned $60-90 price seems too high, when u can get a steel 'bike' for that cost, or an acceptable used one.

It would have also been nice to have a little compatibility, eg allow regular wheels.

One of these I believe.

He seemed convinced it was of comparable performance to a good quality carbon frame.
