You probably remember correctly. However your handlebars are almost certainly aluminum or steel. Carbon fibre structures that I have seen have a sort of clear resin coating and the cross-hatched pattern of the wrapped fibres is visible through it. As well it is usually brightly labelled. It they look more like metal, they are metal!
