My uncle is an avid cyclist. & also has $$ in his pockets... i dont... I wa telling him about the bike that i am getting, 06 trek pilot 2.1 & told him it has c/f... he says that he would never ride on c/f cua its "not safe" and would fail much quicker then anything else. He usually rides streel bikes, hence is hols schwinn, which i am riding now, & his newer specialized. can anyone give me pewace of mind & tell me pro's/cons about either this bike or just the carbon fiber components on it... i'm getting it for 1300 w/ a small dent in it... nothing that would sacrafice the structural integredy, but just a meer blemish.
