To say they have "already" been applied suggests that engineering/science weren't applied "before" and haven't been since. I think recent developments have been pretty revolutionary within the world of bikes, but change driven by an interplay between craft and science/engineering has been happening all along. . ************
<you're> telling <me> that! i'm agreeing withYOU!
they've simutaneously been applied all along. the obvious
difference is that last decade's engineering/science is old
news and this year's (engineering/science) isn't.
