I must really stop gazing at Trek carbon road bikes..... i'm seeing stars~! Wheee!!

Carbon atoms are bonded by strong covalent bonds to each other in a parallel plane... But perpendicularly, they are bonded by weak Van der Waals forces... So they can slide... But if we align the carbom layers at different angles at each specific layers, it becomes stronger and lighter than steel... Mostly used in aeronautical industires, but gladly it did a quantum leap in to bikes! Woohoo!!! *Apparently, this blogger has seen too much carbon frames and needs ample rest*

Good night.
