Nick this reminded me of a conversation i had with my seller for my bike. He used to ride pro and sponsored. He told me if i really want to go carbon in the future then do so but with the follow caveat:
-Although carbon fiber frames are very strong and light they are suspect to chipping and cracking much easier than an aluminum body.
He has seen many cracked carbon frames. Something i didnt think about.
Yeah, I have no need for a carbon frame, I don't plan on trying to get one.

I think thats a very good thing
