$45,000 only buys you 6lbs of carbon .....

Not a fan of CF at all but that really is quite an incredible achievement to get it down to 6lbs all in.

This would be no good for competition as it's too light to be legal!

The guy who owned this frame before Fairwheel put 20,000km on it so it's not that weak, that's why it's so expensive. Anyone can make a 6lb bike that bends if you sit on it, it takes $45,000 to make one that doesnt.

Not legal for road racing, but OK for time trialling in England, Wales, Channel Islands and IoM at least; CTT Regulation 15 doesn't state a weight limit for competitors' machines.
