Yes, I know. I think I was not very clear though. I am not willing to put $4000 on a carbon frame, I rather spend under a $1000. For those $1000, I rather get an aluminum frame from a proven company than a carbon frame from one I do not know much about (they might be reputable to other people or in other countries, I do not know.)
Unless I misunderstood and you are saying that I can get a carbon frame from a US company under $1000, in which case a link would be appreciated.
