It's not the material on it's own, but tubing choice, butting, frame design that determine the ride properties of the frame. I bet you'd notice a lot of difference between a CF track bike and a superlight CF hill climb bike in terms of flexiness, but it's got nothing to do with CF itself. Same goes for ti, alu, steel, bamboo, whatever

but most other things being = you get more flex with ti, and yes you can use thicker tubes and a stiffer geo in a frame, but i still have the idea of it being flexable in my head...

Which is why they use thinner walled tubing that's larger overall diameter.. so that all things are NOT equal. :)
