"embodied energy" means the energy needed to create the material. So that involved in mining aluminium, refining ore etc, moving it around the world until it's built into a building. Carelessly specified new carpets…
To an extent, and seemingly always with frames. But pro riders often use parts that aren't "sponsership approved" - they just make them all black or similar (rather than have another manfacturer's logo on them)
