Well, it was a carbon fiber gun that was made in China. It also didn't work.
I'm guessing the guy from performance bought one of the many chinese carbon fiber frames that are listed on ebay.
Here is a more expensive example of one, although most have the option of giving a best offer...

The moral of this story is, would you really trust riding a Chinese made carbon frame that was being shipped from Hong Kong? Unless of course you enjoy carbon splinters up your arse.
These are bikes that failed from reputable companies:

On the other hand, I've seen plenty of riders ride the Chinese made carbon frames. I've seen road & track, and not a problem. Very similar designs to the higher-end companies leading me to believe they're selling one's that were blemished and/or using the same tech & mold. If you haven't ridden one or know someone whose ridden one, don't bash it because it's from China. I hope you do realize that many carbon frames & wheels are OEM from China.
