I found this on the bbc
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5063672.stm"The Trekinetic K2 dispenses with the old tubular chassis and uses a carbon fibre monocoque instead."
WTF is a "monocoque"?!?!?!?
Is it available in North America?
Are there alternative applications for the monocoque?
What does a lady have to do nowadays to get her very own monocoque?
Most sincerely yours,
EtOH+llrrrpp

I never saw this word before. I had to look it up.
mon·o·coque n. A metal structure, such as an aircraft, in which the skin absorbs all or most of the stresses to which the body is subjected.

oder vielleicht selbsttragend
I think if you had a monocoque you'd have to be selbsttragend...
