It almost has to be glued to the tubes, doesn't it?

Every carbon bike is "glued" somewhere. Whether two layups glued together or tubes and lugs, you're riding a glue up. Lots of early ones even did aluminum lugged with carbon but nicer bikes have and still do some carbon tubing bonded into Ti frames. Serotta had one I really wanted, but Independent Fab had one last I knew, Lemond did it with steel and Ti as did Serotta, and Litespeed has had several different versions. But the Hutchins is probably a good comparative, these are every bit as fancy just in a whole new way. Looks cool and out of my price range.
