I put about 15k miles on that cf frame before I realized how good steel is. All the parts went to my Tommasini and this one sat. During the forced covid break I decided to repaint it. Removing the paint revealed a very thin weak spot in the downtube that probably explains the flex I was feeling when riding. Decided to have some ugly fun with it before killing it. I will say that I think cf is pretty dang tough. After cutting halfway through the tubes, I had a hell of a time trying to bend/tear/break it apart.
