get to work, make me a bike of this

screw the bike i want the car…
However, i was wondering what would be the next composite after CF, i guess this answers that question.
A method of combining a beta titanium alloy with advanced carbon composites, the combination having a matched yield strength and modules of elasticity ratio. When the combination is adhesively bonded both parts will approach maximum yield strength and fail at a similar amount of total strain. The titanium and carbon composites are combined by first abrading the titanium to be bonded, coating the titanium with platinum, aging the titanium, spraying primer on the coated titanium, applying adhesive to the primer side of the titanium and then applying the carbon to the adhesive. This allows the carbon composite to bond securely to the titanium. This composite uses the best properties of each component, the combination having a better set of properties than either part.
so it is the same, but better
retards can’t even spell “modulus” right (maybe they were going for “nodules”?)… wonder if they paid for the R&D out of their Nigerian lottery winnings…
Fail.
Looks like the guys at Titus have something similar
