Anyway, if I were a buyer I wouldn't want to be an early adopter.
I interpreted the description as pretty explicit in saying the threaded areas are fully carbon. The reason why galvanic corrosion is a concern on other carbon bikes is because everyone else utilizes threaded aluminum inserts bonded into the carbon frame, and when you use alloy screws with alloy inserts you can get galvanic corrosion. Hence, you can eliminate galvanic corrosion as a possibility through the use of fully carbon threads, which allows the end user to use any metal screw they want and not have to worry about galvanic corrosion.
I, too, am interested about the durability of threaded carbon.
