The 2009 Carbon Concepts Ultimate ISP Frameset is truly one of the ultimate carbon framesets in the world!  The Carbon Concepts Ultimate ISP frame utilises high modulus full carbon monocoque construction using the most advanced technology available that does not utilise bladders. This allows the best combination of strength at key points and lightness. It also looks very nice.

A monocoque frame does not use lugs that inevitably weaken and lead to frame failure. Monocoque construction ensures maximum stability, maximum reaction to force and maximum rigidity compared to classic glued or taped carbon fiber frames.

Another innovation is the use of an oversize head tube. The head tube of the Edge Ultimate has a larger base because its fork has a cone-shaped steering tube. It has the standard 1 1/8" diameter at the top and a larger  1 1/4" at the bottom. Having an oversize steering tube increases its stiffness and that benefits not only the steering accuracy but also the strength of the fork. The base of the steerer is the weakest part of the fork assembly, so reinforcing this section is of real benefit to the riders.

The geometry of the frame shares the same measurements as the Cervélo S3 enabling a very comfortable fit. Of course, the Carbon Concepts Ultimate ISP frame also utilises the race winning ISP technology and and oversized head tube. Therefore, unless you like paying more for a sticker and a less advanced frame, then the 2009 Edge Ultimate frameset is a better option for you. 3 years warranty. EN certified.
