Are you sure of your statement of the Trek OCLV frames?? Do you want to be more specific about the pieces your referring too? I am just curious?

Trek OCLV

In 1992, Trek introduced its proprietary OCLV carbon process (Optimum Compaction Low Void) which is still used in its handmade carbon frames. All OCLV carbon frames - road and mountain - are still made in Waterloo, Wisconsin.
