He has cut up many different makes but so far Bianchi was the worst in terms or problem/ potential problem areas in the moulding and structural areas. Will post the link .

Interesting videos but..... if you research the Bianchi frame that was used you will find it probably dates back to around 2007/2008 so cannot really be considered indicative of current frame building techniques as carbon fibre technology has moved on considerably in the last 10 years. If he cut up a current Bianchi frame and found the same then maybe I would be concerned.

Care to volunteer a frame so we can see?

True, but the pinarello dogma is circa 2010 and there's quite a difference, I think the point is that buying a premium name bike doesn't mean your getting a premium frame.

Or maybe that the manufacturing of carbon frames is not as advanced or as state of the art as we might like to think or lead to believe.

Custom Ti frame from Walty bike = 1k
Ultegra DI2 = 1k

2k left for wheels and finishing kit

4k is simple if you think out of the box a little bit
