Some good posts recently on Bike Rumor which have solidified my idea of making a full carbon bike for myself. I'm even thinking that I'm going to take a stab at molding my own tubes around a mandrel. I've done some dissecting of a Scott Addict top tube, and will delve into some other bits and pieces to get a better idea for what other companies are doing.
Also, I gotta give a shout out to my friends Richie and Max at Philly Bikesmith. They took about 2 hours last night to fit me and go over all of the crazy details that go into bike design. My current plan is to let them come up with a frame design for me and then build it up. After picking their brains last night, I have utmost confidence that they'll come up with something that fits and handles well. The rest is just up to me building the dang thing.
