As for keeping a separate set of wheels, yes, recommended. I also keep a second bike in case the Calfee is out of service, like it was most of this summer with various issues (nothing related to the frame though).
Still have to write up the Calfee / Trek 5900 comparison. Exec summary: Calfee is a much better bike!
Bruce,
Your rave reviews on the Topolinos and of course, Craig Calfee's recommendations are the reason I just had to have a set of Topos. However, I still haven?t ridden them since my bike is still in the shop.
I will keep the backup wheels and someday will have a backup bike too. I keep my eyes open for a used 60CM Dragonfly frame or possibly a Tetra. My Luna will become the backup bike. I like the look of the Tetra better than the Luna and have heard that the Tetra frame is almost indestructible. I would like to have a bike that I can ride for the rest of my life.
I want a Dragonfly for less practical reasons. I like the fly for the wow factor. If I had a fly, I would probably spend as much time rubbing on it with a diaper as I did riding it.
