Change in frames in 2002? new
#9857 - 07/23/08 10:16 PM (164.165.57.57)

Using archive.org, I pulled up the geometry from the Calfee web site of 2001 and of 2002. The Luna geometry changed - the wheelbase got longer (98.3 to 98.8) and the standover got higher (80.2 to 81.3). The 2002 specs seem to be the same for today.

Now I need to find out what year my Luna is!

I had a 60cm, 2001 Luna Pro which had a 1" head tube. I suspect that the 2002 probably had a 1.25" head tube.

If you call or email Calfee and give them the serial number on the inside of the left rear drop out, they can give you the year.

I recall that around 99-2000 the BB's changed from Italian threading to English. For a while, the smaller sizes had a 1 inch headtube,and the larger ones 1.125.

I also recall that for a while you could choose between 1 and 1 1/8 on customs.

I do not recall a change in angles or other numbers. Perhaps the old chart was not correct?? My Luna Pro was made 5/02 and is # LP0890.

I was guessing it is a 2001. But the next Luna I got - 2 years later? -is also a 1". It is a 54cm and the first one is a 56. I thought the HT change came later only due to customer demand.
Anyway I was just interested in the changes I found and didn't notice any announcements from Calfee as to the rationale.Just curious, nothing else.
