Is this right? They claim that they are using a different product than the aluminized fiberglass. Or are they just saying they use the same reinforcement, but with epoxy instead of PER?

And I have never seen that CF/Kevlar weave for sale. Is it better than 2x2 twill, what is it called, and where do we get it?
these guys are clowning…I was just talking to perfeng about them.
Titanium silver is probably nothing more than silver e-glass.
Its alot more workable than tex (thanks to classic bike for shipping me a small piece) but I dont like the weave pattern. I like the look of a 2x2 twill.
The weave looks like a 3x3 basket weave.
You mention “silver e-glass” and then also mention it is easier to use then Tex (i am assuming you mean texillium, aka alumunnum fiberglass)? Do i have this stright? There is antoher material other than texillium?

yes…“classic bike” here on the board sent me a 12X12 piece of it. Its super soft and drapes like carbon over stuff.
My only qualms with it was that it wasnt a 2X2 twill, most if not all of my parts are cosmetic, so I need the status quo. Then you get into the availability of it, he is in the UK and most of us are in the states. The product is made in Italy. Try getting a supplier to bring you in small quantities of that stuff…yeah right. Im talking with mine to see if I cant get it in a 2X2 weave and in quantities I want but Im not terribly hopefull about it.
