Nah, it appears elsewhere too. While most people shudder to think of commuting on thin tyres that are hard to repair on the side of the road when you puncture, there are people who happily commute on tubulars. I dig too much glass out of my tyres to seriously consider it, but if you've got the wheels and want to try it, why not? The worst that can happen to you is getting fed up with them and even if you only decide it was an interesting experiment but not for you, at least you've done it.

Do it my boy. Go forth in the name of investigation, discovery and dumb masculine adventure. Discover then return here to report ... but don't tell your lady for she will not understand.
