I'm toying with the idea of buying a carbon framed road bike. I want to spend around £1500,but this one http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/bbd/road-track-bike/ribble-new-sportive-racing?part=BB13RIBNEWSPORTIVE&sub=conf_BBRC&bike=at under a grand looks appealing(any thoughts?)! The reason i ask about the weight is because i was hit by a cross wind tonight while travelling downhill at 38 mph, it made me seriously wobble on my old aluminium frame so i was wondering if i'd have been on a lighter carbon bike would i have been blown off the bike? I'm 11 stone and 6ft if it's any help.
