Two things both made from crabon fribé are unlikely to be the same material when one is a copy based on a finished example of the other. Did they carefully dismantle the 'dale and measure everything; the number of plies, their orientation, whether UD or woven, the fibre grade, the matrix resin properties and compaction? In round figures, it's possible to make two carbon fibre frames with the same external dimensions and the same weight and have one of them be twice as stiff as the other.
All the above based on the assumption that you were talking about the carbon Flash, not the alloy one, since you didn't bother to specify which you meant in your original post.
