I'm aware of and in support of "torchbearers". I don't feel however that any topic that applies to a current "torchbearer" builder is on topic for this list. I still feel that the subject of current test methods for fatigue failure is off topic. Perfect for the framebuilders list or rec.bicycles.tech though.

The one who decides is Dale...
