Re: Newbie question: Advantages of monocoque frame

The simple answer is that 95% of us would prefer a mono because it is more historically accurate.

The reason most replicas are space frame
instead of mono is due to the higher cost
to make a good mono.

The good news is that well constructed
space frames perform as well (or better)
than a mono, so unless you are hung up
on authenticity, a space frame is great.
