I have no personal experience with any of that trouble. My question to you is where did you source the carbon seat stays and chain stays? They look very similar to what is on my Sette Durata, an Aluminum/Carbon hybrid frame. Did you use an existing frame, or did you find them on a frame builder supply site?
