Carbon Fiber
There are several bike models using the OCLV and carbon build technique. W/o knowing which one you're thinking of, your question can't be answered.
Carbon Fiber, yes.
Carbon is non metal as it does not have any metallic properties.
Basically because Carbon is a relatively light element and carbon fiber is only made of carbon atoms
carbon fiber costs more than steel
what are the elements of fiber
As far as carbon fiber composites go, yes, quite easily.
No
Carbon fiber sheets are actually laid into a mold that molds the outside shape of the carbon fiber. Inside, an inflatible bladder maintains the inside tubular shape. One the carbon fiber is placed inside a "pressure cooker" (under pressure and under high heat), the carbon fiber hardens into it's tubular shape.
Carbon fiber is lighter and stronger than GRP and it has a longer lifespan.
