All my previous bikes were steel, I had a few of minor crashes, never any damage to the bikes (except scratched saddle in one case).

No, no, no, that didn't really happened, just ask any of the staunch CF owners, that's just impossible, CF is tougher than steel, you photoshopped it to make a statement about how bad CF is.
