Reason 13: About Tuppleware

Carbon Fibre is the magic material in cycling. Is this a marketing hype or a reality. The closest I have been to carbon is the fork on my E5, mixed experiences from carbon bars, but, certainly no carbon frames.

So is it in fact the magic material and is it durable? Given my years of experience with aluminium, I would love to compare stories about the Stumpjumper S-Works Carbon vs my M5 aluminium hard tail.
