You are, my Juicy ultimates are going on the third season and they have stood up to lots. People think carbon fiber will break if you look at it funny, but it's pretty stout stuff.

I agree that it's pretty solid, but with a hard smack during a crash due to top tube / lever interference I can see something giving way. Since the tubes are really solid, I'd see the lever and/or its pivot failing.

This bike belongs to a dude named Todd. How can you tell? Because it spells out T-O-D-D in Morse code in the Nokons!

Don't you have carbon fiber brake levers? I'm guessing you run 'em nice and high.
Sweet bikes btw.
