I know, which is why I said that it was a possibility. I admit that I havent fully read the BR thread, but I did top'n tail and skimmed through. The overall impression I got was that all of these parts a great with next to no downsides.
Whereas here, most people have come across as giving a fairly level response...which I trust more. Even though the BR thread runs to many more pages than anything on here. So it should be more reliable. Anyway I will go and read it properly.
Personally if I needed some cheap new forks and there were no obvious deals on 2nd hand ones I'd get a set. Wheels...probably not, but that's more because I don't think deep carbon wheels are necessary/desirable for my needs. A whole frame...definately not, just because I'd only go carbon if I had a big budget. Any then I'd want a retailer and a warrentee.
