I wonder if next year the builder is going to turn the flat CF planes 90 degrees for a full suspension bike with no springs or pneumatics? Has anyone used CF in that manner before? It would be a fun experiment. That sort of vertical flex is well developed in skis, snowboards, skateboards, etc.
I forgot to mention that it is made of plywood with a carbon veneer. Definitely an "outside the box" bike....
