I think Schumi does this as his day job, so I'll be basic (for fear that he's smart and I'm not). CF has excellent fatigue qualities, much better than steel, so in theory it should age better. However, it does not deal well with impact damage, which can significantly weaken it. I know nothing about bikes, but generally speaking it should be stiffer and lighter than a comparable steel bike.
