There are a few examples of bikes by a manufacturer with a range of material options within a single model, e.g., all aluminum at the bottom of the line--maybe with some elastomer feature--or, steel with CF stays and fork, etc., with all CF at the top of the line. By "top" I mean most expensive frame material option. If someone likes the less expensive bike,
because it isn't all CF, then their opinion saves some money. Mostly what I've observed is that some riders thet take sides against CF as a frame or fork material insinuate that you risk your life by using it, which is about as smart as saying you should only drive on steel tires rather than risk you life on a thin layer of rubber that depends on air under high pressure for its strength. Bad example but I just felt like starting an argument this morning.
