I chose a Tetra Pro based on the professional bike fittings I have had. I have a compressed disk in my spine and some other joint problems. I'm over 50. My body shape is such that most standard frames top tubes are too long for me and having a short stem is too much a compromise in bike position. I'm getting a frame as a part of a complete bike that is fitted to my body with a slightly more upright position for me on the bar to compensate for my back.
I read how some people say that you don't feel much a difference between a DFly, Tetra or Luna. I'd say that is true if all three are the same dimensions. Bike design is all about fit and function. My aim is for a bullet proof bike for regular daily riding and fitness. Both my LBS and Craig looked at my measurements and made decisions on frame size and angles based on those measurements. My LBS checked my fit multiple times over the years and did so just after entering my order for my bike once again.
I'm getting the Easton EC90 SLX fork Shimano Ultegra drivetrain Truvativ Rouleur Carbon 172.5 cranks 36/50 rings Chris King headset Kwing Carbon bar Mavic Ksyrium Elite with Vittorio Rubino Pro rubber Time Attac Caron mountain pedals (so I can use recessed cleats on my shoes) Thomson Elite seatpost and X4 stem WTB Laser V stealth saddle
With this ride I'll be able to ride for hours on end with the most comfortable bike I'll have ever ridden.
