First, is there another forum, sites, that cater solely to roadies with a rich selection of for sale ads? I'm contemplating on buying a (used) frameset and custom building it or just go Performance and grab a mid level model on sale.. options.
Do most european frames have different BB shell thread than US-Taiwan frames? Or they all fall within the same standards and the italian thread thingie is just a nostalgic stuff? I like the luster of european road frames (as in MTB frames as well).
Lastly, how old can a carbon fork get before it becomes a safety issue? (Either carbon with alum steerer or carbon-carbon).
