This is vaguely on-topic, but, since carbon fiber has been mentioned . . .First there was the death stem(ava,pivo). Then the death fork(viscount). Now the death frame(carbon fiber). Are we witnessing the evolution or devolution of the bicycle? -my comments are made in jest.
Good thing in jest. The busted or failure of carbon frame thing is NO different than steel or aluminum
classics. Take your choice, some may just be weaker than others. Could be caused by engineering, construction, application (incl. abuse) or environment. Personally, I like all types and really dig the evolution of CF. And about V-count forks, AVA 'death' stems.... send them to me
