I found this interesting on Aluminum vs Carbon Fiber. This video is about the Trek Madone 5 series, but I'm sure it applies to pretty much any quality carbon fiber frame. Jump ahead to the nine minute mark:

Thanks for the video, I watched the entire thing. I wondered about some of the comments posted above claiming alum to be more durable than CF, video verifies my knowledge of past readings etc.. Plus I've read once an alum frame fatigues and breaks, it shouldn't/can't be repaired. This video is pretty informative about the CF frame and process.


Thanks for watching and enjoying my ride videos!
