Carbon ebay frames!

alipayne232

Hello fine people of bikeradar. I have a conundrum needing solved and if i'm being honest i can't be bothered fighting through pages of forums to find the answers (which i'm thinking will be contraversial anyway). The subject in matter is that of un-branded carbon ebay frames which seem to range from about 175 to about 500 squids. Basically i'm considering it, but don't want to get 2000 miles down the line and find my arse tasting that old familier tarmac because my top tube and my seat tube have had a divorce.
Please please please don't argue on this because it's totaly counter productive and just wastes everybodys time. Give your opinion and discuss if you can be bothered and don't bullshit!
Cheers!

Some are ace, some are rubbish. The problem is that you risk only finding out you have the latter as your front wheel falls off.

Worst case scenario... http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=90693&hilit=broken+fork (warning contains blood)

Best case scenario - http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/c/q/frames/road-frames

Of course, at that price I'd buy Alu but that's a whole new bunch of things to argue over.

Ive done over 2000 miles on my FM028 and it hasn't broken yet and I hope it doesn't do so anytime soon

I've done a few hundred miles on mine

It's stiff as f00k, it's light, it's smooth

It's not a cycling plus review but hey
