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?

At 200 lbs (+/-) I've ridden Calfees for years with no structural problems. In all those years, I've not heard of one breaking from heavy use.

Consider: Calfee has more years building straight carbon fiber bikes than Trek, and aside from their Bamboo bike, Calfee builds *nothing* but carbon fiber bikes.

If you are looking at a 60CM Calfee, the top tube will measure 58.3CM (Calfee geometry: http://www.calfeedesign.com/pro.htm)
