John, for a little more money you can get a carbon frame from a reputable co. on sale for around 700 bucks. Its maybe 2010, or 2012 model instead of 2014. Big deal? Different stickers or color scheme? I see my Ridley on sale for 7-800 bucks on some adds, but I paid over 2k for it when it came out and sold through small local shops.
I am not sure if I trust a knock off plastic frame? They might have fallen off the back of a truck or left the factory before painting, who knows? I am sure they are great frames because a friend still race on one of them and it has held up fine for the past three years. I just get a little carry away when it comes to some of our training rides. Coming down the hills at full tilt, taking those turns at speed and coming off the saddle tweaking that frame just after the apex beating on it just scares me if it should break. I like to go to work the next with a little sore in my legs but not lose my teeth on a ride. I have been in some pretty good and bloody ones over the years and I don't need em' no more.
