I see the scientific method is being applied rather loosely! :D

At least I know which frame to use when I'm confronted with a grinder for the next ride.

I know it's a joke but just reading the comments it's only encouraging carbon fiber fearmongers. Sigh.

When riding out in the sticks, you never know when you will encounter a family of inbred cannibals wielding chainsaws, gardening implements, and power tools. It happens every day. It's nice to know whether you can rely on your frame to hold up or whether it will go kaput.

the real worry is that any grinder able to get your down tube or seat tube while in motion... probably went through your leg to get there :eek:
