Captain Ahab, i will have a need to employ your expertise and services if stars align by the end of the year.

Neat. In 1991 or so purchased a Brent Trimble designed Kestrel CS-X atb. Also with it had a flat bar all carbon fiber, with the brand name Aerosports. Took a chance on the monocoque frame. Very impressed with its robustness and even after some hard impact crashes. They were vac bagged.
Though todays road bike frame layups are completely different, wafer thin and not kind to getting bumped.
