Some, maybe all, of the following could be used, 3D scanning, microscopes, endoscopes, ultrasound, thermographic imaging, including stress and deflection testing.
* Please note: Due to safety reasons, paint on handlebars will be removed to clamped areas on drops and stem, so that we can investigate further
