Thanks for sharing.
Yeah CLAR is supposed to pervade their lineup all the way down to 3 series, so it shouldn't be too expensive.
I don't know if weight saving is really a priority on the 7 series, so it might not be a great comparison. But yeah if it's not going to be a full carbon/CRFP platform, have anything called "steel" in it, then it's not going to be the featherweight we might have hoped for.
Speaking of the CFRP i8, I finally saw one up close, and that CFRP frame has an odd honeycomb-like texture to it. Different from anything I'd ever seen before.
