We can say, "look how carbon is used in such stressful applications." And that's true. But my concern was that the forks/frames are not being manufactured correctly. I think my fears may be overblown. I'm seeing some nice frames. Have you guys seen the "VeloBuildMall" website? Seems like nice stuff!
