Stevey Wevey - Carbon has come a long long way since the first time it appeared on the scene. Easton can make handlebars out of Carbon that are lighter than most XC bars and stronger than most DH bars for example.
I used to worry about it myself, and although I haven't got a Carbon frame, I've got carbon bits on my bike, and it gets a fair hammering and I'm 110% confident in it.
I think the only problem that Carbon has now is peoples perceptions of it.
