Advise for carbon frame .
Always want to assemble a bicycle.
I want to buy a carbon frame. But different frame has different price.
For the carbon mountainbike(cross country), I want to know the difference between a$1000 frame and a$2000 frame.

Depends on how the manufacturer constructed it, and their overhead, and their desired profit margin.

Mostly it will be weight. Santa Cruz has a low-end carbon frame and a high-end carbon frame that they sell on their 5010. The geometry is the same, Santa Cruz states the difference is in the carbon to make the high-end lighter thus making it more expensive.

Bit confused here with what you are asking for, the 5010 is a nice bike/frame, but it's Aluminum, the 5010C & 5010CC are the carbon models. Also, the 5010C/CC is an AM bike, defiantly not a XC bike as you asked about in your first post.
