Decoy & CF Quality - What is it like?

[2Old2SendIt]

I've been looking at a lot of information about bike frames and questionable CF build quality, even with very expensive brands. None of this had anything to do with YT, but I was wondering if anyone out there has cut a YT frame in half or scanned one to see what the CF build quality is like?

Also, who makes the YT CF frames? I assume they're made in China, but does anyone know which company?

I don't know the builder. The carbon fiber layup seems as good as anyone else.

Frames are made in Taiwan which arguably is still part of China but considered a step above in terms of manufacturing quality due to more regulated manufacturing standards. Disclaimer: A very generic statement I am making though …

The Levo etc are also made in Taiwan (by Merida, who in case you didn’t realise also made the Raleigh USA bikes for Raleigh UK back in the 80s/90s).
