 =__Composite Processes and Products __= __**Composite Bicycle **__

__What is a composite?__ A **composite** is an engineered material that is made from **two or more constituent materials** with significantly different **physical or chemical properties.**

**Composite bicycles** are mostly made from **Carbon Fibre**. Carbon Fibre is a material consisting of **extremely thin fibres** and is composed mostly of **carbon atoms**.

**__Carbon Fibre__**
 * Can be **formed into any shape**.
 * Can be fine tuned in different areas for specific **strength or comfort**.
 * Can be made as a **monocoque structure**.

__Why do these bikes use Carbon Fibre?__  __Downfalls__
 * **Light weight**
 * **Corrosion resistant**
 * **Strong **
 * **Expensive**
 * **Low impact resistance**
 * **Prone to damage**
 * **Vunerable to fatigue failure**

__Built for:__
 * Racing Bikes
 * Individual time trial races
 * Triathlons
