  1. A beer can is double butted at each end, but would you have
    confidence in an elongated beer can used for your top and
    down tubes? We as consumers must say "no" to beer can bikes.

    I heard the Cannondale Super V frames had down tubes that
    you could deflect with thumb pressure. They really weren't
    much thicker than a beer can.

    Nice troll. Two good things about the Cannondale beer cans:
    (1) if you break one, you get a new one free, and (2) you
    get a $.10 deposit in Oregon. This keeps people from
    throwing them out along the highway. -- Jay Beattie.

    We as usenet users must say "no" to trolls. Beer
    tastes better.

    if anyone would like to get their 10c deposit i'm just 40
    miles from oregon and would be more than happy to assist.
    just mail 'em in.

    I draw the line at the ones filled with American beer. The
    ones filled with German, British or Irish brews should have
    adequate strength.

    Isn't "double butted at each end" a tautology?
