the geo isnt going to make that much of a difference, except maybe softening it up with more elaborate stuff like the stupid pinarelo kris style fork.
the type of carbon they use is much more important. and how its layed. if you want a light bike, you need something like toray fibers. layed correctly.
cheap chinese bikes aren't going to be made out of toray. and the lay pattern for different strength CF is going to be different. a cheap chinese bike is going to be cheap cf with lower strength. simply because the cost of those fibers is fixed. you can't buy toray cheaper in china than you can else where.
so $300 frame? at 700g? it's going to flex all to hell or break a chain stay or down tube or something. $300 carbon frame at 1000g? sure. absolutely. go wild.
