[MENTION=45134]nickw[/MENTION] The majority of bicycle related recalls in the last 2, 3 years are...carbon fiber forks.
Safety standards look good on a paper. IMHO, carbon fiber parts that carry weight are a big failure when it comes to safety, and there are also issues with durability. Don't expect to find many "Vintage Carbon Fiber Bikes" in the future, especially the ones that still can be safely used.
