I have a carbon road bike and a steel fixed commuter. My fixed is sort of my beater; it's not the prettiest and it wouldn't be the bike I need it to be if it was.
Fitness for purpose, innit? A carbon (or titanium for that matter) beater would be stupid.
I've seen some courier bloke with a £2k Colnago carbon track frame riding it brakeless with risers. Seemed a bit daft to me.
