Get the newest Velonews and read up on their trip to the TIME factory.

Time builds their own carbon up from the strands. They do not lay it up wet, nor in sheets.

They use wax forms that they pull tubes of dry carbon over. After 5 to 8 layers are built up they pin the formed tubed to their lugs and insert them into the mold.

This mold is injected with the matrix, purging out all of the air just like bleeding a brake.

The wax is melted out in the next step.

All of their frames but 1 model are produced in France.
