Race Spec Jointless Carbon Frame | CarbonSpeed Gran Turismo

The CarbonSpeed Gran Turismo is one of the most interesting road bike frames I've tested recently. Unlike most carbon frames which are manufactured in multiple sections and bonded together, the Gran Turismo uses a true one piece construction, resulting in a cleaner internal finish, simplified cable routing and potentially improved structural efficiency.

In this video I take a detailed look at the engineering behind the frame, the build quality, assembly experience and the areas where CarbonSpeed have got things right and where they could still improve.

Topics covered:

• One piece carbon frame construction
• EPS moulding and internal quality
• T47 bottom bracket interface
• Headset and cockpit design
• Geometry and fit considerations
• Tyre clearance
• Real world build experience
• Manufacturing quality compared with mainstream brands
• Aerodynamic observations
• Customer service and purchasing experience

I also discuss how the Gran Turismo compares with frames from Winspace, LightCarbon, Elves and other direct to consumer manufacturers, along with why one piece construction remains relatively uncommon despite its technical advantages.

If you're looking for an aero road bike frame without spending several thousand pounds on a mainstream brand, this may be one of the most interesting options currently available.
