I think Eben Weiss is mainstream. He's owned and ridden carbon bikes. And he rides a lot. I think "mainstream" in the context of cylcing encompasses a broad spectrum from racer wanna-be's to parents with kids in trailers or child seats to people carrying heavy loads on all kinds of bikes.
I don't think of myself as mainstream because I have never and will never consider riding carbon. Not that I'm a snob - just that I prefer my steel bikes.
