I'm suspicious of carbon - the thing that did it for me was one of the early canondale super V suspension bikes that Rob Warner managed to snap when he reviewed it for MBUK - think he did both the fork and the snapped a shard off the swingarm.
Now, I obviously realise that this was 10+ years ago and has almost no bearing on modern day material / manufacturing (and that I'm never going to ride a bike as heavily as Rob Warner) but some things stick :)

I had a couple steel bikes try to kill me 'back i the day'. Totally my fault for not takig care of, or checking, them.

Hence I find myself checking over my steel frames more than the alu, or carbon ones.
