WOW, I am really getting close to having everything I need to get the bike put together. The order of CF from Soller Composites in New Hampshire arrived today. I got two different sizes of CF sleeves. A large diameter sleeve for the bike frame and a smaller diameter for the swing arms (chain stays) and possibly a handlebar tube. I also got a couple of yards x 56" of fabric. I am working on the seat design and I am planning on this material being for the seat and the few places where I will need some strips for strengthening in addition to the sleeves. The CF looks excellent, I am really starting to look forward to the layup and vacuum bag process. Although I have never done this before, I have read so much and gone through the process so much in my mind that I feel quite confident it will go well. I have one more order of bike parts to arrive. It got shipped today from Jenson USA. I have a front derailleur coming, it is a shimano Deore XT M770E derailleur which mounts via a ring onto the bottom bracket and should prevent me from needing a riser post to mount the derailleur on.
