Does carbon fibre bike products have a set life span ?
Do they get/go stale over time ?
Any cpncerns about buying 3year or more C/F handlebars or seatposts ?

well, it doesn't have a shelf life if that's what you're asking, when the molecules start to degrade...

i would, however, be concerned with buying used carbon fiber parts because you don't know what kind of life they had. the part could have tiny stress fractures from previous crashes, which would be bad...
