  • SystemSix and Six13 frames do this.

    You can't really tell what's going on underneath at the join. The Carbon and the Aluminium don't play nice together over time and because of the way they are bonded together it was difficult to isolate the join between the two materials to stop galvanic corrosion.

    And I don't think they were expecting these frames to still be around and in use, so buy at your own risk and keep an eye on it.

    Rad frames though, but you may struggle to get modern - wide - wheels in the rear the end (fnar)

  • hmmm, you've got me wondering whether it might be better to cancel my order and find something that wont blow up underneath me...

  • Depends what you want. Tech has moved on.

    If it makes you feel better, buying it would be no different to the punt you are taking with any circa eight year old aluminium or composite frame; the risk is there, it's just a bit unquantifiable.
