I’m happy for someone going into entrepreneurship and wish her the best.

I can relate to some of her sentiments, but I know way more people who’ve cracked Aluminum frames than those who’ve cracked carbon ones… but I’m not friends with anyone who’s getting actual pro framesets beyond store bought S-Works, Felts, & Looks that probably have a few more layers of cloth here and there than the actual Professionals’ bikes.

FWIW, the most recent Aluminum cracker I know is a very petite woman ~50 years old on her third replacement Terry and she’s shopping steel bikes now.

But, I’m no professional racer, just a General Bike Riding Dork and sold my carbon bikes when I got over the idea of ever trying to race for more than $10 bets between friends. I really don’t get why carbon gets brought up in this sub at all.
