People with modern CF bikes shouldn't take it too personally. I think the general reluctance to accept modern CF bikes in this forum comes more from the fact that the bikes are not C&V (Compact frame, brifters, "goofy" looking stems, jillion gears at back, squiggly looking shapes all over...monster price....and maybe some weenie envy.....etc....)
Most everyone here I suspect, are smart enough to know that the modern bikes work very well otherwise....or all those TDF heroes wouldn't be riding them to hell and back every year!.....
