I took my post crash CF bike, pretty bad crash, into 3 local bike shops for inspection - including the corporate store for the brand - they all said the exact same thing.
"Throw it in the trash". No visible signs of damage... but they didn't want the liability. Took me a while to get comfortable on the bike, but I still ride it 5 years later.
Hidden damage is the problem. Only a CF repair shop/inspector can really tell 100%. And that may not even be 100%...
