What misinformation? I showed you the picture of that frame where the head tube separated from the rest of the frame for no reason whatsoever. It occurred at the south side of the bicycle path to the Golden Gate bridge where you turn off of the bike lane on the road onto the bike path. Since it is steep on the road and there is a slight lift on the path everyone slows to 5 mph or so at that point.

Or do you think that I am spreading misinformation about the man to whom this failure happened. Who has had half a dozen surgeries to his hand and the small finger is still sticking straight out and will not fold out of the way like most people's hands? Think of trying even to write your own name.

What is odd is that people who own and ride carbon fiber bicycles, especially the higher end, are the greatest deniers of any negative aspects of the material. People who want to pretend to be racers so they buy extremely expensive frame/fork combos that were designed for racers. Do you figure that you are Chris Froome in another body? Do you walk around trying to emulate a British accent?
