Lon,
again I'll admit not riding a DFly, but in my conversations with Craig, he told me he builds all 3 road Calfees to ride the same. He did say that some feel the DFly has a more metallic "feel" to it but the 3 bikes were tuned to ride the same. So if that is true then any difference would have to be in subjective feel, 1/2 lb of weight, fork choice, component/wheel choices or geometry differences.
I agree that if you feel faster you probably are faster. Anyone who ever bought a new bike knows that is true. I would also guess the more spent on the bike the more true it becomes.
OTOH, I've heard some claim they are faster on their quadruple butted new steel bike then they were on their 3 year old triple butted steel bike that weighs a mere 3 ounces more. I also hear people claim to be 1.5 mph faster average speed on one set wheels 100g lighter (claimed weight) than another set. Who knows? Whatever makes you go faster I guess.
