I ran across this is in the most recent Velo News:
“…Cervélo has provided CSC with its all-new superlight 2004 R2.5 Carbon Team frames, which Cervélo claims to be the first sub-1000g frame to receive the strenuous EFBe testing certification (few carbon frames pass this certification, according to Cervélo).”
Here are my questions: What is “EFBe” an anagram for? And where can one find the complete list of carbon frames that have passed their “strenuous” certification standards?
Maybe that is one of the tests that are often seen done on items sold by Ron Popeil…“swedish scientists in the frozen tundra tested this carbon bike for the thickness of its clear coat”…“the clear coat being more than .005 mils thick has helped the bike pass the EFBe testing that the Swedish Scientisits are famous for”…
Just kidding, but who knows?
EFBe = Engineering for Bikes
It Looks like the Scott C-1 frame is the lightest and strongest carbon frame so cervelo’s claim is false.
Maybe Scott can sue Cervelo?
The sight doesn’t indicate how many bikes (brands) they have tested. What if they have only tested the ones that are listed. Pretty easy to be place 1st or 2nd it seems.
