I am just saying that accelerating from standstill is much quicker on a carbon bike and I can reach greater speed than on my steel bike with the same tires and the same air pressure. And I want that in my new bike.

For what it's worth I almost got a T-lab. We have a distributor here close to me and the bikes are fantastic. They look like carbon bikes made out of metal, and the paint is really well done. If you're leaning towards one I can't imagine you'd be disappointed.
Thanks! T-Lab looks very interesting but it also mightly expensive while I can get a very good deal on a J.Laverack GRiT frame. So if titanium, then rather GRiT with a custom geometry.
