Not Simply Carbon Fiber
The impregnated carbon fiber is formed into a unidirectional fabric called prepreg, which is then carefully cut into hundreds of pieces of various shapes and according to a precise and intricate “layup schedule,” wrapped around a bicycle frame-shaped form. Finally, this whole assembly is placed in a precision-machined clamshell mold (a tool) and baked (cured) in an industrial oven to finally create a bicycle frame. Since our factory makes its own prepreg, we take the extra step of fortifying our epoxy resin with additives that increase the impact and fracture resistance of our frames. Not all manufacturers do this, but it’s an extra step we take for our G-Spec CarbonProcess.
Carbon-fiber tows are impregnated with fortified epoxy resin and carefully wound onto a backing to make sheets of prepreg fabric. 
Sheets of carbon-fiber prepreg are ready to be cut into various shapes for our layup process.

Carbon-fiber prepreg is carefully cut into the various shapes and sizes needed for the intricate layup schedules. 
Unidirectional prepreg is layered and oriented at various angles in order to best handle the loads and stresses the frame will encounter.
