I mean carbon moulds that are 7-8 years out of date,old technology!You mean past its Eat By date?
It may be old tech. but that doesn't necessarily mean it is bad!I mean carbon moulds that are 7-8 years out of date,old technology!
???I think you've just answered your own question....."carbon is still changing and evolving"but something 8 years old cant be out of date??you think frame shapes haven't changed in a century!what colours the sky in your world?modern headstock's are huge on up to date carbon frames,bottom bracket shells are bigger,wider,in modern carbon bikes,flax fibres for dampening,dual chamber for strength,internal cable routing, full carbon dropouts,lifetime guaratee,etc...I could go on forever!failing to see how a shape that's 8 years old is out of date.
Bikes have barely changed shape for a century, and carbon is still changing and evolving.
The Ribble winter frame is still the same shape it was 12 years ago, and that's why I bought another one!
But that's aluminium?The leaps in carbon and aluminium production in the last 5 years are not really comparable,and plus your caad5 was cutting edge technology at the time....not a 8 year old designIt may be old tech. but that doesn't necessarily mean it is bad!
My Cannondale CAAD 5 with its 10 speed Chorus groupset is very old tech, but it is still a fine bike.

Well of course the bike is the same as 12 years ago its the same mould!!but now the production cost is less than one dollar!failing to see how a shape that's 8 years old is out of date.
