First off, I rode over 120,000 miles on uprights and was a cat 2 racer in my younger years before switching to bents for medical reasons.
Second, I have two bents under 20# and they do make them in carbon fiber for all of you cutting edge buyers.
Third, I don't have a beard.
Oh, and I do own a full Campy 2011 Specialized Roubaix Pro SL3 that I also ride occasionally but I prefer my bents.
