    Very risky asking people on a forum to say if an item they have not seen is safe or not.

    CF can shatter internally without being aparent significantly weakening and providing a route to castrophic faliure, or it might just be cosmetic damage.


    Ask an expert to look at the frame/post.

    I would be more worried about the post.
    look up shattered carbon fibre and femoral arteries.

    Why would I care about 150g of bike weight, I just ate 400g of cookies while reading this?
