Maybe, khuoun, but that can't beat the results i get with my new super-alloy, Nonexistium. The only drawback is that each bike will cost $2.4 million, but i already have reservations from Bill Gates & several other customers.
There has been much research done in the field of vapor grown carbon fibre and nanotubes. The miltary (USAF) has conducted experiments with a materials development contractor and successfully produced cost-effecitve nanofibers that will lower the cost of current commercial grade CF from around $25/lbs to around $3/lbs. The increase in stiffness and strength with a substantial decrease in size means that material can be made much slimmer with a significant reduction in weight.
