I say, both are concerns...

Why is the original owner selling the CF bike, in the first place?....

Did he precariously fall with it?....Did the CF road bike experience some type of impact or force?...Is the owner questioning the future integrity of his CF bicycle investment?...

Now we get to the frame warranty you quite obviously don't have, and are not privy to.

It's really just a bad idea!

However, if you trust the seller, and the seller is truly trustworthy, you just might be lucky enough to score a phenomenal deal!
