Carbon fiber bikes might have a lot of advantages but they don't seem to last near as long as a well built steel frame by a custom builder. It is common for a pro cyclist to break or crack their carbon frame at least 2 or 3 times per year. The frames also seem to have a fatigue factor making them lose their stiffness after a few years. It is also well known that your $2,500 frame will be toast in a big crash, unlike with many steel frames. If a steel frame gets damaged, its easy to replace tubes

The Graftek Exxon was the first carbon fibre bicycle way back in 1975. They also made the first carbon fibre tennis rackets, golf clubs and fishing rods.

Kestrel still makes great bikes. I've owned a kestrel talon for 6 years and it is a great ride and really soaks up the road.
