Yeah, I hear you and agree.
I'm not deeming CF in general "unsafe to ride". Just saying it has a
higher risk of failure, including catastrophic failure, than bikes constructed out of metal. I won't disagree that the overall risk may be very small... just saying that it
is greater.
The risk of failure simply cannot be identical for all materials... one or another has to be the most likely to end up delivering its rider a face plant. My research on the matter leaves little doubt which material this is, so I sold it.
Now I ride in peace knowing nothing bad will ever happen to me.
