Once again nice work!
As you may know I've been working on a bamboo/fiberglass bike and as I approach the final stages of the build, I wonder if the amount of fiber I used is enough.
Can you tell me how many layers of carbon fiber did you use on each lug and on the rear dropouts? And the material you use, it has unidirectional fibers right?!
