Carbon Fiber

Where can I get the cloth? I've been reading about the guy who made his own carbon mountain bike (and then baboo/ carbon lugs), I've already e-mailed him, and I've been searching through the internet for places to buy the cloth. So far, the highest grade I've turned up is 6K carbon cloth sold by the yard at some shipbuilding website. Is the higher the number better with carbon fiber? I'm assuming it is, but it always helps to make sure.
Lastly, does anyone have any experience with carbon bikes? If I build mine, it'll be just for fun. If the mountain bike goes well, I'll make a highly overbuilt track bike that I might ride in nationals after testing a lot.

Thanks guys!


P.S: I won't build frames for anyone else, so I'm not going to try to take your business.
