I've been riding the Luna all season and love the ride. However, yesterday I took my old Cannondale CAAD5 bike out for a spin and it felt a lot faster, especially when sprinting and climbing. Today I conducted some tests on a flat quarter mile stretch of road. After 6 rides I concluded that I move about 1.4mph faster on the Cannondale. I'm going to do some longer rides with both bikes and see if this holds true. What could cause this, frame stiffness? or geometry and design? Now I'm upset because my much cheaper aluminum bike seems faster, it almost makes me want to try and Six13. Has anyone else noticed there Calfee's to be slower then a stiff aluminum bike? - Dan Post Extras
