I ride with a group that more than half of them ride Madones. It is very common to have to return them for warranty work if you ride often (4000+) miles a year. Also they will almost always break in a wreck. If they don't make that model or color any longer, they will give you a replacement that wont be the same bike. You will still have to pay to strip the frame and rebuild with the new one. They will deny the claim if you crash.

Calfees are designed to be both more crash resistant and repairable in almost all cases.

Fit is everything though. If the Luna doesn't fit you don't get it.

Thanks for the feedback. Have you heard of any cases where a Calfee will break just from heavy use?

As for the fit, I think the bike fits me. I did have some difficulty determining the top bar measurement. I am 6' 1/2" with a 34" inseam and the bike is a 60cm. I am the same height and inseam measurement as the guy I am buying the bike from. I believe that I can make some minor adjustments by changing the length of the stem. Am I correct?
