THE CONSTRUCTION METHOD

 

 

Designed and Built For DEAN

by Craig Calfee

Fiber Fusion . . . Lay-up:
Carbon fabric is wet out with epoxy and laminated to pre-mitred tubes using metal dies. (210 p.s.i. laminating pressure yields consistent, void-free composite)

Power trimming:
The rough edges are trimmed and sanded with abrasive power tools.
(Using the same Swiss power tools commonly used for jet turbine blade finishing)

Finishing:
The details are sanded to perfection by highly skilled craftsmen. (No need for body filler or porosity-hiding primers and paint).  What you see is what you get. (The finishing touch - as only human hands can accomplish)

THE TUBES

calfeepic2.jpg (5792 bytes)
We use tensioned fiber tube sets custom built to our specifications - the lightest, toughest, most shock absorbing, tube sets available.  No shortcuts here.

THE TITANIUM REAR TRIANGLE
Compatible materials are essential for the specific application of titanium and carbon molding.  Therefore, our titanium rear triangle is an ideal fit for the production process. Titanium doesn't rust or corrode like aluminum and alloy steels.  Titanium also has a virtually identical rate of thermal expansion as carbon fiber - therefore, it doesn't naturally separate from carbon fiber.
