Anymore, I think you really need to do something harsh to break some of these framesets. Frameset failure isn't a concern I would have had, but at the same token. I have seen my fair share of carbon fork failures and you mention just swinging your fork over to a new frameset. Is it also 6 years old? But I raced steel cross for years and my rigs were a tad under 25 pounds, they were all cross Bianchi builds. When lifting over long periods of obstacles, you notice but the feel and ride made up for that. I didn't go for gold but I ended up with plenty bronze finishes and had more fun than I ever thought possible.
