Then they join them together kind of like if you lock your fingers together. then, they get carbon sheets and layer them over the junctions. That's why they are able to make XS frames to XXL frames and make profit.
Every guy that I know that got one had the frame crack with in a month.
They don't have imperfections, they're trying to save weight by not putting a cosmetic layer of carbon on the top. If you were to look at any carbon frame without the top layer that's what they would look like. And I haven't heard of any breaking, and our store has sold at least a dozen.

EDIT: and he makes it sound way more complicated than it is, it's really just a lugged carbon frame.
