As for all the people afraid of CF who are now happy in their fears .... glad you are happy.

I continue to ride CF bikes and bikes with CF parts ... cheating death and risking disaster at every opportunity.

Funny how many people say stuff about how they have had metal frames fail,, so they don't trust CF. I have never had a CF frame fail ... so i should not trust my metal bikes?

Maybe some folks are so eager to be justified in their beliefs, they accept any sort of propaganda ... but to me, this is all propaganda. scant fact, spun and distorted and squeezed into inapplicable contexts for the not particularly hard-to-define potential benefits of certain vested interests.

I have had two CF seat posts fail on me. One was a no-name Chinese model ... . the other was a Bontrager Nebula. This proves that Trek is secretly a no-name Chinese CF manufacturer? For some of the folks who post on this site, there is already more than enough evidence.

Anyway ... as always, it boils down to "Ride what you like."
