LeMond masts?

Greg LeMond has a new company that's going to be based in Oak Ridge, TN.

Quote:
Jackson and a research team at ORNL’s Carbon Fiber Technology Facility have invented a breakthrough process that will reduce production costs by more than 50 percent compared to the lowest-cost industrial-grade carbon fiber, LeMond Composites said in an August press release.
“Incredibly, this new carbon fiber has the mechanical properties of carbon fiber costing three times as much,” the release said. “Until now, manufacturing carbon fiber was an extremely energy-intensive process. This new method reduces energy consumed during production by up to 60 percent.”
It’s the most significant development in car

Ya think we can convince them to make long carbon sticks?

Maybe Oak Ridge Labs can develop a nuclear motor for a line of racing bikes...
