I assume that the radius of the corner is actually fairly large or no longer exists in the final design. If it is there it would look cool but would provide a weak point in the downtube etc prone to crumpling under a high compressive load.

Might take you up on that. Would you be that bothered if I broke one, I have a knack for snapping carbon frames, which is why I don't own one at the moment. I am however always in the market for a new one. ^^ ooo now that sounds like an excuse for a holiday in feb. Might take you up on that.

The designer working on the frame is very experienced , and the factory producing the frames is one of the top carbon producers so we are pretty confident were going to get it right , and even if we didnt chances are wed weed it out in the testing process, and even then if we didnt all frames come with full on-one guarantee . . For anyone interested we going to get all the new carbon bikes put through their paces before going to final production , by having 6 bikes down at this place so if anyone wants a pre production test it should be possible, probably in mid jan to mid feb . www.active-vacances.com We should hopefully have the carbon 29er , xc , and 456 all done , only down side is the only frame sizes will be 18s . Just fly out there with shoes / pedals / kit and off you go , youd need to sort your board / lodging with the owners but theyd welcome a house full in february im sure I think what makes carbon strong is the layup and integrity of the design , more so than an angular tube , not that any of the 456 tubes are going to that angular .
