Luna Stiff Enough got big Rider?
      04/16/04 11:44 PM (66.219.219.89)

I just got back from my fitting with my LBS Calfee dealer. He recommends a 64cm Tetra. He also claimed that in the in the larger sizes the Lunas weren't as stiff as the Tetra. I hadn't heard that before. In fact... I thought the general feeling was that if you didn't know what you were riding, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Stiffness is a factor for me... I weight 270lbs. I was planning on a Luna but now have second thoughts.

I emailed Calfee about this issue a few days ago, but I haven't heard from them. Anyone in a similar situation? Do I need to spend $800 more?

Any advice would be appreciated.
