Re: Re:
Not many, but you are right.
The Carbon 456 has been pretty much invincible since I got it, and it was a second user bike. I have always had carbon hybrid bikes since they arrived and am perfectly trusting of it for frames.
Of course, when you get into components it is a different matter.
Anything non essential like a drinks holder fair does.
Stems? Bars? Seatposts?
No thanks, though I do use a couple of these items I know are good.
My Thomson Masterpiece is light enough, and has inbuilt safety against failure.
When it comes down to it you can add light steel frames to the dodgy list, some of the metal is paper thin!

Except you are not comparing like with like.
Re: weight, compare to a known brand such as fsa, easton or rirchey. They are pretty close and usually the quoted weight is less than actual.
120 g for flat bar 580 mm is pretty normal, now if it we 80 g, questions need to be asked.
Re. Failures can you post link?
This is what i'm trying out at the moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BARRELLI-ALUM ... 2ee0e5dec1
It actually says this on the bars ; AL2014 T6 BUTTED and are really light weight about 180gram's and feel quite strong too but i'm not planning on doing any DH as their just for trail and road use but if had a pair of carbon bars that felt as light i'd bin them .
Well here's another link to some really cheap chinese bars and the price alone is enough to scare me away but i kept finding these on the bay when i purchased the Barrelli's .
