Most bikes above entry level come with CF forks. I would not really waste my money on CF stays.If you buy all the CF hype,buy a CF bike. -
Carbon forks are standard on most bikes now. Personally I think all Carbon bikes are over rated! A light weight aluminum frame can hold it's own against a Carbon bike any day!
-
stays are more decoration it seems, but it may slightly smooth out road vibration, etc.

When one is over 40, buy all the carbon you can afford. If on a limited budget, then Carbon forks and a good suspension (Rockshox Road) seatpost can do wonders with a gel seat.
