While this *might* be true for small OD tubing a quick web search of CF suppliers shown this is not the reality for larger OD's. eg.

http://www.carbonfibreexpress.com/index.php?cPath=22_41

I suspect there is not a great demand for large diameter CF tubing, as can be seen above, a good length of 70mm OD runs around $US960.00 .
300mm OD is not even listed.
