Just ran a Google search... can see where this might have been difficult and the search function on the forum is even worse.
Good times.

No, but that misses the point. The vast majority of riders are not racers and get precious little benefit from modern innovations like superlight CF frames and low spoke count wheels. But that's pretty much all that's offered for mid to high range bikes in the LBS.
