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
