Congrats on the Cervelo, definitely a good buy.

As for the anti carbon comments, carbon is actually renowned for being a lot more comfortable and able to absorb shock and vibrations than alloy frames. Steel and titanium normally do it even better but titanium is crazy expensive and steel is heavy. As for carbon not being able to be repaired, very wrong as it is very repairable. Paint my Bike in Brisbane repaired my carbon Eddy Merckx.
