For a hybrid fitness bike, who makes the best carbon fiber frame? I know from a LBS that they said Giant hand crafts or makes their frames from scratch is this true?
Well, the carbon fibres are woven together to form tubes at TIME. They go through a machine that resembles that used to draw aluminum tubes, so I wasn't sure what else to call it. Woven, I guess.I wouldn't call a carbon fiber tube "drawn", but I'm not sure what you would call that process. Trek's OCLV process uses an air bladder of some sort and they lay it up in molds, with the weave specific to the properties they want the tubing to have.
