    This gives some insight into the different weaves -

    Monocoque frames are like a continual structure of carbon fibre, there are no lugs etc, all the elements of the frame (headtube, top tube, seat tube, stays etc) blend in to one.

    Pienso que español es gran y trata de enseñar mi hijo de cinco años de edad para hablarlo tan él puede hablar con el local en nuestro lugar en España.

    Tenga inconveniente enle, yo no soy experto tan quizá necesita unas pocas lecciones

    There's a lot more shit spoken about the different types of steel than there is with carbon.
