Actually the most common frame material to fail is aluminum. Come sources say never keep an aluminum frame for more than 10 years max. And the failures are highly reminiscent of the Internet pictures of carbon fiber failures save that the CF bikes usually have been hit by cars whereas the AL bikes simply fall apart.
Damn. Mine's 32 years old. I'll have to travel back to 1996 and get rid
of it.
But then I won't be able to ride it across the U.S. in 2003. What to do??
If you had a penny-farthing you could ride clear across the U.S. with
Thomas Stevens in 1884 :-)
Ain't bicycles wondrous :-)
