i like it
better than those hoopty mtb style ones!

as for strength it would delaminate over time
you'd get plenty of warning before it snapped though, as it would be like riding a wet tissue

Buy a Ti frame, it will never corrupt, wont disintergrate in a bad crash and wont loose much money  :daumenhoch:
