| Carbon fiber bikes might have a lot of advantages but they don't seem to last near as long as a well built steel frame by a custom builder. It is common for a pro cyclist to break or crack their carbon frame at least 2 or 3 times per year. The frames also seem to have a fatigue factor making them lose their stiffness after a few years. It is also well known that your $2,500 frame will be toast in a big crash, unlike with many steel frames. If a steel frame gets damaged, its easy to replace tubes |

| The Graftek Exxon was the first carbon fibre bicycle way back in 1975. They also made the first carbon fibre tennis rackets, golf clubs and fishing rods. |

| Kestrel still makes great bikes. I've owned a kestrel talon for 6 years and it is a great ride and really soaks up the road. |
