Lightweight High Strength Carbon Source

Lightweight High Strength Carbon Source

Lightweight High Strength Carbon Source

(OP)
I am designing a lightweight road bike for display at a number of Trade Shows later this year. Bicycle frame weights are easily achieveable now at less than 900grams say using a Toray M50J Carbon. Some manufacturers are getting down to 800grams. One guy in the USA is down to 600grams about where I would like to be. Trek Bikes are sourcing a 75gram cloth from somewhere. I would like to source something in the following range if someone can help. Tensile modulus of around 400 - 500GPa with Resin Ratio 30% and a Cloth Weight 75 grans or less. Thankyou Peter
