I thought for sure that there would be a flurry of posts about "how carbon will shatter/explode", or "my carbon bike broke the first week I had it". When doing searches on the net, there's a ton of that type of stuff... but in the bike forums I've read, it seems like almost everyone is happy with carbon. I know I sure am!
I figured the negative aspects were probably exaggerated, otherwise carbon bikes would have been retired long ago... but I had to ask! Thanks everyone!
