but that’s just me and it’s great that both books are out there for us.

…love to ride one some day…

He designed several bikes for Giant, but the one you are probably thinking of is the mid nineties composite monocoque MCR. That was a beautiful frame, but the UCI didn’t go for it. At least the UCI did decide to allow compact road frames based on the diamond frame. The compact road bikes that are all over the market today can be traced back to Burrows time at Giant not all that long ago.

Wonder what he is up to now? He designed a bike for Giant once, before the UCI ruling, didn’t he?

I have seen other environmental sites with carbon calculators like yahoo and tree huggers, but I am wondering what the deal with earthlab.com is, is it credible? I saw they also published a list last month of the top ten greenest cities ( http://www.efficientenergy.org/Top-Ten-Green-Cities-in-the-United-States ). Does anyone know if this site is better than say WWF site? Fill me in

I took their carbon foot print test and it was pretty interesting, but they said that I put out 4.5 tons of carbon while another test gave me like 15 tons? I think I trust earthlab.com’s test a little more (because my score is lower). Does anyone know about any other tests?
