I ride road aswell and $1,000 is not worth it unless you are looking to save weight. C.F. is fragile but not abnormally so- It just will not take knocks that other materials may. Lightness is down to the bloke at the factory and it may not be that light. Handling and to be honest- I would rather ride my L/W ally framed bike.

So worth it for weight===Possibly

Worth it for handling=== not in my experience

Worth it for Bling====Definitely.
