EDIT: The frame is aluminum despite the name. This doesn’t really apply but the point stands.
~~I believe that carbon frames are a poor match for stationary indoor trainers. The additional torsion experienced when the “back wheel” is locked in place is generally never considered in the design process of carbon frames. Steel and titanium offer the most flexion in the chainstays and seatstays before developing wear.~~
~~If you’re not standing up out of the saddle, carbon is totally fine in almost all circumstances. But a high resistance effort while up out of the saddle can be risky.~~

It was about €550 new.
