Maybe this is how we can get carbon V20s produced!

Um no

This company has been floating around on social media for a bit and it’s hilarious when you realize they don’t show a single person in their videos ride the bike in the saddle. They are ether carrying the bike, walking the bike, or pedaling it while leaning their weight as forward as possible. It’s almost like the bike can’t be properly ridden with its missing seat tube :lol

And one of the people walking a bike is about a foot too short for the bike in her hands!

That looks like a failure waiting to happen - but Im not a CF engineer....

You can keep the carbon.
I wouldn't purchase a carbon frame

Bloke walks into a bike shop. "Get me a carbon frame and make it snappy."

I suppose carbon is alright for the stays of a Silvio. I hope.

On the Magnificent Dual suspended Silvios V1.0 to 2.1, the CF wrapped Titanium plate lower stays, the CF is only there to take the axial loads on the stays when braking, or pedalling, and keeps the Titanium 1.2 or 1.6???mm thick plate core from buckling, while allowing it to bend in an S shape to create a hinge point!
If the CF cracks, the Titanium will still work and keep the stay together!!!!

What about the front?

What about the front?

The Front Titanium/CF chain stay is the same as the rear but a lot more curvy - sideways

Carbon, Al, Ti, carbon with Ti in it. Bloody nuisance for the manufacturer. No wonder they changed the design.

All those different substances. The only one it does not have is steel, which is my favourite one.

Any Kryptonite?
