This time I didn't want to turn the bike black (original colour was white). So for first layer i use 200gr Alufibre (Silver Glass) and the rest 200 gr CF.
The 200 gr Alufibre turned to be very difficult to work with since it is very delicate and it is to destroy the weave. It is easy to have cosmetic issues in your final product. Possible the 290 gr version could be easier to work with and give better visual appearance but wouldn't help keeping the weight low.
Project is currently near completion.

More photos to come with more details on the project.
