Who will design and bring to market a carbon fiber monocoque step-through frame, to make an 8kg bike for seniors with mobility or flexibility issues?
Hmm?

Redesign and innovation for a sole purpose is sometimes rewarded, but often admonished in 20/20 hindsight.
Advancement requires many iterations, and adaptations to remain leading edge, marketable AND profitable over time.
Honor the innovators.

Love the t-shirt - post #1.
