Cool, I just watched the Lightweight wheel cut up review as well. Very interesting to see how the different CF mfr's approach what you can't see.

He's got a good number of videos to which are very cool and informative. He was also on the cycling tips podcast recently. He comes from an aerospace background.

One of the neat things that he does when he cuts a frame in half is explain the advances in production methods and how that translates into a better frame.

It's good stuff.

its amazing how crap the inside of some of these frames are. extra resin, dry resin, partially inserted rivets, etc.

I didn't look at all of his videos, wonder what the inside of a Crumpton or Argonaut would look like in comparison to the production rigs?

They talk about this in the Time Trial Podcast when interviewing the guy who runs the Cycle Systems Academy.

That's where I first fell down the rabbit hole...
