So what you're saying is that because the Rivendell frameset costs as much as a Specialized SL frameset it is therefore as complex?
No. What?
Clearly they must all be riding ticking time bombs since their bikes are cheaper AND lighter than Pinarello frames!
No. what are you talking about?
What I said is carbon is not cheap, and if not produced correctly can be dangerous. So if you see some great deal for say a $25 carbon stem on ebay that you don't know anything about or where it came from, and since quality carbon products aren't picked up dirt cheap, chances are it's not a quality product, and I'd therefore be weary of it.
