For starters, everything ends up more expensive (which sucks, given the state of the alleged economy). And the message it sends to would-be riders is that having the lightest bike possible is the most important thing and if you don't have a triple-butted, post-weld heat-treated, sub-five pound frame, you may as well not even bother. LTA, LAF, LAF—I want to see someone come out with a line of straight-gauge frames called the FTW and the WTF.
