Default carbon fiber/aluminum frame


not to burst anyone's bubble but I don't think that carbon would really
be a suitable material for trials frames.

Like Jerrick said Carbon fiber frames do not handle sharp impacts from
the side very well. I also think that the CNC crown will likely
eliminate the weight savings of the short carbon legs.

On a larger frame it might make more sense. I would like to one day
build a custom carbon V frame for a 36er

While it may not make that much sense to build a carbon/aluminum trials
uni it would still sell because:

Custom = Cool
Carbon fiber = Cool
Nice CNC bits = Cool

And it sounds like you have a good team to work with.
