Welcome to the dark side! Fit and quality aside, another reason I like my Calfee is you just don't see many of them around. Treks are great bikes (I hear), but it seems half the riders around here are riding them.

Some may think it silly to consider that when getting a new bike, but if I'm going to spend a few grand, I'd like my emotional needs met as well as my physical! yuk yuk.

I agree Treks are everywhere. When I decided to upgrade my bike I thought a used bike would be OK as long is it was used very little and not abused. So, I started looking on Ebay I found Treks and litespeed's were really abundant. There are very few Calfee's on Ebay and even fewer ones that fit me. Maybe Calfee owners rarely sell their bikes.

Another reason I wanted a Calfee is that it is one of the few company or maybe the only one that will allow a warranty to be transfered to a second owner. Well, I only have five years left on the warranty on the bike I purchased. However, I haven't heard of anyone that has had a problem with the bike breaking, other than a crash.

At any rate, I am very happy that I bought a Calfee. The bike looks great and is is equipped with very high-end componets. There might be a few small scratches in the frame, but I could have them touched up by Calfee if they bother me.

Thanks
