Many manufacturers are bringing out "relaxed geometry" CF bikes with clearance for 28mm tyres. These are derivatives of their pro Northern Classic bikes and basically aimed at guys like me; overweight middle aged cyclists with money to spend on bikes that are better than their fitness level requires. However, they might be useful as UL touring bikes for those that don't need conventional racks as they don't have rack mounting eyelets and I wouldn't want to use p-clamps on the CF.

The Pinarello Rokh and Kohb look like excellent CF UL touring candidates and come in at under 17lbs, but are not light on the wallet
