i got a free benotto frame and fork on CL about a year ago that led to a lot of research. most of the reports i've read of frame failures (not just on BF) have been by serious riders and racers when putting a high level of strain on the frame (sprinting, climbing, descending etc) that doesn't mean it can't happen to the casual rider - just probably at a lesser rate. all said and done - i'd hate always wondering in the back of my mind if or when my frame could crack...
