How DARE you sir!
Carbon will always bee sensational!
3 years at your age is not 3 years at mine.
Carbon like bacon,is indescribably awesome for no good reason....And,they have most of the same letters!
Carbacon
Bacarbon
Carbonacon
FWIW during this past Sea Otter a former WC champion mentioned that a Carbon M9 is still a ways out. This is a little surprising since Jeff mentioned during Eurobike 2011 that five carbon models will be introduced in 2012. To my knowledge Intense's current carbon offerings are: Carbine, Carbine SL and the Hard Eddy.
This is pretty awesome. And of course, according to some people, carbon bikes crumble like crispy bacon if you even LOOK at a rock while riding one.
really? I thought only back ally meth heads and 13 year old pinkbikers thought that these days.This is pretty awesome. And of course, according to some people, carbon bikes crumble like crispy bacon if you even LOOK at a rock while riding one.
Nope. Still lots of people and that's not only hipsters who somehow believe that the strongest technology was invented 30 years ago.
its still early 2012. plenty of time to go.
as a certified expert on hipsters, I can decisively say that they all think steel has been around longer then 30 years. Remember they're into retro sh1t. If they could they'd be on bikes from 1100AD.
you guys are forgetting that diamond is the strongest metal known to man.
I like your optimism! I am hoping for an interbike release.
Carbon is awesome, but it is not going to turn back the clock and unwrinkle your balls. Or make all your prior injuries go away. Go do some intervals instead if you can make your Evil Knievel joints hold up. 
These which bike threads you keep posting are really getting in the way of the very important $hit on here like tweaking aluminum nipples, and watching the Mexican people's champion Lopez do street hucks with his good friend Xerses of Persia.
(Ha, my old ass is sitting here with my broken hand healing, so I am in the same boat.)

I bet April/May '13 for carbon 303 & M9. A couple months earlier for Demo & Glory.
Glory won't happen for a while. Giant was always slow to adapt and change.
that's only because they're busy building everyone else's bikes
Or they "are not making bikes for enthusiasts" to quote some giant rep from old RM topicthat's only because they're busy building everyone else's bikes
I'm not sure that that is true. They made the Trance Advanced just as they were introducing the Trance-X. They brought out the Trance-X Advanced and then redesigned the TX the next year. Whatever they decide to do though I think we'll probably see Danny Hart riding on one long before we can buy it.
As for an M9 carbon, I'd sure like to have one. I don't have a lot of carbon mountain bike experience, but I have not yet met one I didn't like.
