Does anyone know the differences in CF? Several people in our group have gone and purchased CF bike
frames made by Giant. On a C40 the CF is encased in clear coat to protect the CF. On the Giant
frames there isn't any clear coat. The Giant bikes has what appears to be a pattern of woven
man-made material but the surface is smooth to the touch similiar to 'hard' plastic. When first
noticing this difference several of us asked our 'insider' who works at Giant to take us on a tour
of their CF frame manufacturing plant. He tells us even he doesn't have acess to this area. Hearing
this just makes me more curious. Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks, Kenny Lee
