This Corratec has a frame made of alu tubes wrapped in carbon fibre.
Good idea or disaster waiting to happen?

Carbon wrap bars etc aren't new, but it does seem quite bullshitty in general, lots of talk of trail feel, vibrations etc but the reality tends to be basically aluminium parts with wallpaper on it.
