Indeed. And while they too have had their share of failures (alloy frames, top tube near seat tube) they've been resolved quickly and smoothly, exactly the way you'd want, and in a way that enhances the bran'd reputation rather than damages it. Cannondale please take note.
@__PG__: Thanks for injecting some common sense and debunking the comparison with jet aircraft usage of carbon fibre.
Interesting to note from that article and related links the A380 still appears to be using aluminium alloys for the structural components of their wings (contrary to popular conception), and in fact it required the development of NEW aluminium alloys.
@nobody, don't be too shocked.
