You state that you are "still awaiting my new Calfee which I've designed for local bike rides or really anything up to 200-300km". So a few questions:
1. did you design in clearance for fenders and wider tires?
2. what kind of fork are you using?
3. if carbon fork, will it be one designed for cyclocross, thus adding more clearance?
4. are you getting strong or more "stout" tubing?
5. Was Craig receptive to this type of riding? What kind of input, if any, did he make?
I believe Calfees are definitely strong enough for loaded-tours. The problem is that because they are designed with "race" geometries, there's little or no clearance for wider tires, let alone fenders. My Calfee with kestrel fork has enough room for 700x25, but anything wider won't fit. Thanks, Brewster
