Those evil bike store guys. I casually asked how much a full carbon road bike might set me back, with 105 componentry. Ended up spending around NZ$1000 more than the first bike I looked at after I got shown a sexy sexy Giant with full Ultegra. Still love her though and don't regret buying her at all! Nothing like coming home with a grin on my face thinking "I love my bike".

Carbon is really sweet. I don't even care much about how light or stiff it might be over other materials. What I love is how it makes chip-sealed roads almost pleasant. Since that's what 80+% of our roads are...I *heart* me some carbon.
