Anyone peeking on eBay will notice that there's an abundance of carbon frames to be bought - for very reasonable prices may I say for a carbon frame. Does anyone have any experience of these - as I don't want to hit a pot hole at 40mph and get a face full of a mixture of tarmac and carbon fibre after the fibre falls apart..... (anyone ever removed a carbon splinter? It stings. )

E.g.:

There's a good discussion of these on Bikeradar

Some folk seem to be scared of these frames because they don't have a name they know painted on them, even if they are made in the same factory. There's the issue of no manufacturer warranty, but that's unlikely to be a problem for most folk.

I'd buy one if I needed a new frame. May get one one day if I trash one of my existing frames.

Excellent link, thankyou... although I didn't get round to reading all 12 pages about international stereotypes.. but have qualmed my fears of finding myself pulling carbon splinters out of my scro.... Unmentionables....
