I've had 3 Ironman Carbon bikes, circa 1988, never a problem. I've had a Trek 2500 Composite, circa 1987, no problem. The Ironman models were more flexible than I preferred, except for centuries (where my arse was grateful). They were, however, nice and light, and pretty to boot. The Trek was light, and stiff, and more aluminum than carbon, but nothing I'd not take across the state on a 6-day ride.
