How long a carbon road bike could use?

Recently a friend of mine told me the carbon bike only can be used about 3 years. After 3 years ,the frame will be broken.
I haven't bought a carbon bike, yet.
I want to know how long a carbon road bike can be ride?

I'm pretty sure several road bike manufacturers give lifetime warranties on their carbon frames.
All I can say is, next time your friend flies in a plane he'd better hope it's less than three years old.
Weren't you talking about manufacturing carbon bikes in your first post on here? Seems like you should know a bit more about it if you're going into business?

+1 - delamination and warp/weft issues. Don't do it - too risky.

Ski to live
In the time I've had it I've worn out, had to replace just about every component on it, but you'd have that with any bike. If you look after it, and don't crash it, I don't see why it wouldn't last 10+ years.
Could you spare me a dollar?
I do (what can be perceived as) pretty risky stuff for a living but I would never, ever ride a carbon bike after its been out in proper rain. Far too many variables to go wrong and for you to end up with dead disease/the ebolaids.

Lifetime warranties!? That's amazing. The bicycle have lifetime warranties must be so expensive, I thought.
Funny but ture.
My hamster ate my carbon bike.
Carbon is utter shyte.
At least until the new material comes along and carbon drops in price, at which point the new material will be utter shyte and 'high end' carbon will be the daddy.
Its like having a fcuking time machine if you have 'high end' carbon now though
I do not need a time machine to go back and find out what they first said about aluminium because I was there.
They said it was utter shyte :roll:

The result of the trials lead researchers to the discovery that at a pace, carbon changes at a molecular level and gradually gets softer. The heat build up due to the high levels of friction and no ready supply of a thin oil to temper the cooling carbon after riding fast, causes the material to be soft. In the wet, the carbon cools too quickly and becomes brittle, rendering it useless after just 29 years.

My carbon bike was found on the moon. It used to belong to Elvis but he sold it to Hitler.
