spelling is horrible on this video ... learn to spell please. A real shame that the awesomeness is taken away by like grade 5 level of spelling.

[davetileguy]

@nightowl8936 shutup with your spelling bullshit,whaaaa!!

[kyrieeleison1]

interesting video.

[joprez]

near perfection. awesome

[Brighteyes1ful]

And i bet these bikes cost an arm and a leg?

[Zaqco]

@Brighteyes1ful Without those, the bike would be pretty hard to handle, don't you think?

showoffs 

[jayandersons]

3k carbon?

[SwitchSPL]

Fibers come in braided sleeves which are kind of tube shape. All glued areas are reinforced with strategically laid carbon and hybrid fabrics then compressed with moulds.

I like the idea of a bike that's hard to get so you don't see the same bike on every turn you make.

[PhesCookieland]

Generally a bladder is inserted inside of the carbon, this is inflated making the carbon conform to the mold. You can see the actual openings on the metal molds at about 2:27.

[makinamati]

@PhesCookiela  you've just answered mmy great question! thanks! but fibers come already tube shaped? or did they also did that? what do you think? i would reinforce the glue stress areas...

[Grousuba]

how do the tubes remain hollow in the mold?

[ChivoBrincado]

beatiful bike . . . the Italian bikes tecnology is the best all around the world

[snifnscratch]

I would rather save up my money for longer and buy a trek madone 6 series

[SwitchSPL]

It think its the best choice for you as Switch have a very exclusive and limited production and its not easy to get your hands on one.

[snifnscratch]

For me, the 6 series madone is the best off-the-shelf production bike ever produced. I like the fact that its easy to get my hands on a madone
