The Cannondale SIX-5 is carbon.
At this point (not to 60 yet), virtually all of my cycling is commuting/errands/utility cycling. Perhaps unique to my situation, but the time and distance adds up A LOT.
I'm not necessarily pounding hard on the intervals and hills, but a fair amount of endurance has followed my 5000+ mile years.
I would do more utility rides if the circumstances allowed. I toyed with commuting to my closest (of two) offices, but the car and truck traffic concerns me, and then there's no way to clean up when I get there! At this point I'm shooting for practical improvement within my time constraints.
