Of course this is based on my individual (n=1) opinion and may not mean anything in the overall picture.

And to be fair to frames made from other materials, my steel bikes have not failed, my aluminum bikes are perfectly intact, so is the solitary carbon fiber bike own (took me a while to trust this material but it does seem fine).
Well I'm glad you've done just fine with them. How old is the oldest one now. Plenty of folks have done ok with them and I would hope they have improved.

They were plenty of sketchy ones along the way, especially in the beginning when they lit the whole thing off.
