Sometimes bikesdirect is the equitable choice and sometimes it's not. That was easy!
Such a purchase would be, clearly, a harbinger of the apocalypse.According to you, current carbon is not ready but you are considering a carbon Trek. Consistently inconsistent.
Currently carbon fiber excels in both road bike racing and DH MTN biking. It therefore, has proven itself on those fronts. However, I don't believe that I would want to tour with CF or commute in a large urban area with CF. Actually, I do believe quite seriously, that one day soon, CF will completely replace all other bicycle frame materials. It's just got to improve upon impact-resistance and its surface scratching, or gouging vulnerabilities, first.
Therefore, nothing particularly apocalyptic here. Just an opinion shaped by scientific results.
