If Grant designed a CF bicycle, I for one would be very interested in it (assuming I could afford it, which is unlikely). Why? Because a Rivendell-desiged CF bike would be a very nice riding and sturdy, and very likely good looking bike. As the RR itself (via Bontrager) said in a long ago article, material is the least important factor in frame design. Don't let's confuse CF with silly design. Your Sam would remain exactly the same as it was before.
Not that there is a snowball's chance in hell of Rivendell ever using CF. Patrick Moore, who has no ideological animus against CF or any other frame material.
