Well I can tell you specialized and Cannondale offer lifetime warranties on their frames, I know a fair amount of people that ride them and have never had any trouble. The sudden failure issues are with a carbon that is an old technology, the carbon today is not of the same grade it was even 5 years ago, it is stronger and lighter.
