Difficult to truly give an opinion. I have ITM Triango carbon wrap bars, stem and seatpost on mine...is it more comfortable ?..cant honestly say, not in any appreciable way compared to my former Bianchi with alloy components.

No. A tubular carbon pipe is every bit as stiff, if not more so, than a comparable tubular aluminium pipe. The carbon needs manipulating and the shape tuning to achieve damping properties, such as on the stays of an expensive cf frame.

Damn right, I was sorting out my shed the other day and my mud guard bolts are currently lying loose on the shelf, I was a little concerned that one of them may get lost so I considered popping them into the lugs on the bike to keep them safe, I soon changed my mind when I realised just how much weight I'd be saving if I left them on the shelf, I can always buy some more.Yes but what about the 20g saving, just think how much faster you'd go

Nah. you just need to train them to all fly in the direction you're cycling... the added "Moth Power" would counteract the weight penalty of the 10 bob note and half sucked Werthers Original.I've stopped taking my wallet out with me when cycling, defo much faster.
