Nanotube technology in carbon fibre frames

Kildafornia

I'm trying to separate the marketing from the science to see how much value there really is in the higher end carbon fibre frames. I found an interesting read about Easton partnering with Zyvex to add nanotube tech to their carbon:

"While scientists have known about carbon nanotubes since 1991, their
superior mechanical properties were inhibited by phase separation and
clumping. Like throwing a wadded up steel cable into concrete, "it doesn't do
much good, no matter how strong the cable is" according to Larry Carlson, VP
of R&D at Easton, "Zyvex's technology helped us use the full properties of
nanotubes, by unbundling them and integrating them into the composite
material.""

It's good to see something to back up the claims of more durable, comfortable performance frames, considering the price the ask for them.

What would you look for in a high end frame, if you were shopping around?

I would look for this - serious want. Mostly to have the coolest bottle cage in the world.
