Im studying the manufacturing processes of carbon fibre construction at the moment and came across Brano Meres quite unique ladder type Carbon fibre racing cycle frame that weighs in at 1215 g (2.7 lbs).

How cool is that?


Anyone have any more links to interesting concepts they can share?

Hows about that on an MTB? How long would (or wouldn't) it last?!!!

The actual carbon fibre itself is stronger than steel aprox 10 times stronger for a piece of equal weight CF, I'd be a bit worried about the joining technique he used tho..

This I would have no worrys about.. http://www.bmeres.com/carbonframe.htm
