I found that interesting. An article I caught Friday afternoon was on CF itself: http://gizmodo.com/5843276/why-is-carbon-fiber-so-expensive?tag=giz-explains
However, I have to stop and think about that article you posted. It mentioned that a weight of 14.9 lb is set; if one were to try to go a size under on a Roadeo frame, used a lighter wheel with fewer spokes, seatpost, bars, etc., (not that I'm advocating such, but, if one were to do such...), you could still have a competitive bike that's much more durable, without having to have to resort to using added weight to get an underweight bike up to the minimum... (Yet who was it that came out with a new frame back during the TdF, that is even more light than previous bike frames? Cervelo? Cannondale? Trek? I can't remember, I found it novel that the frame was supposedly less than 2lb, but not overly interesting to my interests...)
