Does anyone make carbon fiber frame covers?
I am after a carbon fiber cover for the frame area highlighted here. Does anyone know if they are available or willing to make a set for a fee?
The reason i want it is, I squid in shorts a fair bit because it is often ridiculously hot here and this bit of frame often gets quite hot on bare legs (yes squiding is stupid you dont need to tell me)
If someone knows of another suitable frame cover (other than jeans or leather pants :P ) i'd like to hear your ideas.
cheers

Thanks for the feedback guys. I appreciate it.
I'm struggling with the area shown in the pic. The lower carbon fiber beam is too narrow and won't fit on the frame truss. I need to expand it some how. Thinking of trying with an heat gun but probably it wouldn't work. The epoxy is thermoset. I guess the last resource would be to trim it a bit.
