Huh?

Watch the video. How could he speak for 2 minutes and say nothing?

Amazing insight that Ellsworth use CF technicians to engineer their frames, defining layup patterns and thickness. Imagine if Giant took that technology on? Shakes head.

Spray weave?

@Slowpup... don't they just spray the carbon 'fibre' out of a can (a bit like silly string) and hope if falls in the right places?

One of my mates has a good saying about salesmen.

Chopper gun

When building boats they use a chopper gun which dispenses glass fibres, resin and catalyst in the correct amounts, youd lay up a solid frame in about 8 seconds.

I might write Ellsworth with a proposal... could make ~~millions~~... cents.

Really?!
