It is. There's been an article about it somewhere. More progression built into it than production-model.

That's was a raw carbon frame looks like, move along. Paint is unnecessary weight for one, Gwin couldn't give two if his frame looks a little beat up, and three RAW is cool.

I hear you somewhat, but the cut away shots of the inside of an SC frame look better than that

What Sideshow said. If you ever get to see a carbon frame fresh out of the mold it's not much of a looker. There's a great deal of filing, filling, and sanding left to be done to achieve the finished look. Even this one's been cleaned up quite a bit.

Same with carbon rims and cranks. Straight out of the mold, they look like blemished parts ready for the scrap bin.

Looks like original frame is not as stiff as they thought... So, after a few beers, they added layers of carbon where frame is under high impact/stress.

Is it just me or does that carbon frame looks rough as hell?!!
