I loved his video on manufacturing tolerances and how the bike industry gets away with manufacturing what basically amounts to rejects in any other industry.
I didnt wait, watching it now. He is just such a mess that its awesome. His fumbling with the laser on the powerpoint was great.
But to the nuts and bolts of it- yeah it was interesting to see the explanation of voids(the equations went right over me) and the BB variance on that frame is nuts. He has always hated on Cervelo for it's loose tolerances so the Cervelo - OPEN connection is funny.

ETA- odd that he mentioned multiple times that he didnt know why the DS chainstay is dropped.
