My comments were in reference to the first few posts. I have no idea who is wrapping parts! I also didn't mean to imply that frame tubes were wrapped, but like the first few posters, meant various components are being wrapped in CF.
Do you believe most of the companies combining CF with "whatever material" is really designing (engineering, analysis, testing...) the part to be a better component rather than joining the bandwagon and grabbing some market share? I mean really engineering the component ...like how CF was engineered to help contain a 5K PSI pressure vessel ...and not just "hey-that-sounds-like-a-great-idea-that-should-work-and-sell-well".

Don't forget a Time carbon stem broke in last years Tour and some of the Easton carbon bars broke.
Don't forget that I have a Kestral EMS carbon fork that is broken into three pieces!
