Yes, you're absolutely right, of course. Carbon fiber can be wonderfully compliant. One of my CF bikes is a Time VXR ProTeam and it is more comfortable on rough roads than any steel bike I've ever ridden. It is also twelve years old now and holding up supremely well to the tens of thousands of miles I've put on her.
