mongoose carbon frame

[ashford ace]

can anyone tell me if a mongoose carbon frame from around 2000-2002
is a good idea or not
will it snap into pieces or be ok!
and whats the history

I think Alan Hill raced in Elite on one with no problems

  DINGO

i like it
better than those hoopty mtb style ones!

as for strength it would delaminate over time
you'd get plenty of warning before it snapped though, as it would be like riding a wet tissue

weighs under 3 pounds apparently!
hows that compare to ali race frames

Buy a Ti frame, it will never corrupt, wont disintergrate in a bad crash and wont loose much money

Nice geometry, " I know, lets design a £900 frame like a mk1 burner"

a dialled technique is what i'd really like but a bit to pricey
unless anyone wants to buy my crf450?
