I have a couple of carbon bike frames.  They each cost more than my whole
van!  Weigh in at under 3 lbs...so, imagine what a piece of carbon fiber
twenty feet long, about 6 feet wide and weighing in at oh, say 150lbs should
cost...
  I've always thought that a bit ironic that I bought this 'cheap' van to
carry around my expensive bikes..
  Relative value, I guess.  I could ride a Wal-Mart steel bike and drive a
VW Touraeg or a Turbo Cayenne...NOT!
