CR4: Carbon Fibre Bike Frame.

Carbon fibre had great promise. When carbon fibre MTB frames were more popular (half a dozen years ago or so), every time I’d go out to ride on local trails I’d see the remains of another shattered carbon frame. When it goes, it goes suddenly and catastrophically, in long sharp shards.  If it’s not manufactured precisely, if the metal-to-carbon fibre joints are not glued perfectly ... net-net, it’s a great idea ... but in use, not so hot.  IMHO.
