It seems from the replys so far that a lot of you guys question that assumtion as well.
Right?
Yes. I don't have much experience with CF bikes beyond short test rides, but those didn't lead me to think that there was any magic 'comfort' level associated with them compared to other bikes. And comparing my Al bike to my steel ones certainly doesn't bear out the common stereotype. I can easily make any of the bikes the most comfortable by proper choice of tires and saddle.
