I was too, then picked up a cheap older Trek (Emonda) carbon frame to try something different to steel and love it. Even though it's dated with external cabling etc the ride is great.
I had an old steel Mercian (British hand made) frame that was lovely, but strangely fitted with old Campag 8 speed Record components (sacrelidge I know! Classic English frame and classic Italian groupset!). The Campag record looked amazing and worked well when it was tuned, but needed adjustments every week or two. As much as I loved it I'm much happier riding more dependable Shimano groupsets.
