cybrnitro,

Well, for what it's worth I'm concerned about the longevity/durability of anything carbon fiber on a bicycle. There is tons of readily available data that proves exactly how temporary CF is because of epoxy corrosion/erosion/degradation due to all sorts of environmental issues and how it is mixed (in the case of bicycles) with different metals and what have you which all leads to the deterioration of mechanical properties of the fiber itself. On and on. I'm not that type of engineer so only know what I read and tell myself I understand. The bottom line for me is that somewhere deep down inside I know that one day and of course at the worst possible time that CF will fail me without notice or apparent reason. I do not and will not own anything made of it. But, I'm old and crotchety. Grain of salt and all that. I prefer steel, like titanium and tolerate aluminum when done right.
