RE the video he said both forks need replaced. But notice how the carbon fork looks like it is still OK? And you may end up riding away happily and encounter fork fail?
I'd still personally not ride carbon myself as frames near the trainstation etc. as exposed to people doing fuckknowwhat trying to get their bikes out of the much too narrow areas.
I stand corrected on the strength in one direction. I know, a so-called troll admitting she's wrong! Wow...a internet new.
That carbon touring bike is...interesting. But yeah you may be right that nobody wants it after they've seen bust carbon.
