I agree with Steve, and share his wholehearted disinterest in CF. Riding a bike, for me, has nothing to do with eking out every milligram of performance. A customer lady asked me last week if I was a "racer". My response was an entirely unplanned and unrehearsed: "Nope, I ride my bike for transportation, recreation, and adventure." I think that about sums it up. Because these endeavors usually don't benefit much, if any, from a couple pounds either way, CF holds no appeal for me. If it happens someday that CF frames become as tough and versatile and inexpensive as a Surly Cross-Check, I might reconsider, but then again, why bother?
