Sure, you don't get a warranty...but at that price, who cares? And given some of the grief some BFers have been through to get warranties honored, I don't think it's really that important anyway. And, for reasons already mentioned, I think the frame failure rate will be roughly identical to the failure rates of almost every other bike company's frames.
Well, other than the 1.04 kg in a 51CM, every frame he linked was in the 1.25 - 1.55 kg range. That's about 35% more than a lot of other "big name" CF frames.
