Despite the fact that this is rooted in a comment Grant publicized, I
wonder if your question isn't really OT, given the forum is ostensibly
about Rivendell, et al. What does anyone's opinion about whether or not
they like-ride-race on another bike made of some other material have to
do with the forum's raison d'etre?

"Petersen says professional bike racing has corrupted a beautiful
thing." -- There is some truth to that, with racing driving recent
hyperactive hard-sell marketing, but man, old, steel racing bikes from
the '60s through the early '80s? Some of those were wonderful bikes!
Can you ride a modern carbon fiber bike in other than full race mode?
In other words: I've read several reviews of CF race bikes that
describe them as unrewarding to ride except at high power. Are all CF
racing bikes -- or, tout court, bikes -- like this? (I realize that
that is a matter of design, no material.)
Does anyone ride and really like a CF bike? I'd be curious to learn
about it: make, model, setup, ride qualities -- handling, comfort,
acceleration and so forth. I do know they are fun to heft -- remember
hefting a ~12 lb Calfee fixie!
