>>1538096actually the majority of failed carbon frame sets come from renowned brands OR cheap fakes of renowned brands which are universally accepted to be garbage.
I'd advice you to stay away from old/used carbon unless you're buying from a dentist and you can tell he barely rode it. Especially older frames are more prone to random failure after crashes, modern frames can tank crashes more easily.
>>1537972OEM frames are good but you should buy from a reputable seller. I'll name a few here that are known for good quality and decent tolerances etc.
Hongfu, Dengfu (Seraph/TanTan is them too), Velobuild, Light Carbon Bicycle, Tideace, yoeleo (by now they are expensive though), workswell and there are probably more that I forgot about.
They often allow you to choose your favorite BB standard and fully custom paint job too.
