I would go for the DFly. I have ridden a tetra, but not a Luna. I know someone who has a Luna and a DFly, and prefers the DFly, it is a better bike.

Bruce thanks for the feedback on the D?fly. The D'fly has long been at the top of my wish list. The only concern I have had with the D'fly was the ride quality. Since the D?fly is a full race bike, I would expect the ride quality to be second to performance. Can I expect the same ride quality that I get from my Luna? My Luna rides great, if I could get the bars up a little higher and wouldn?t consider replacing it. The type of riding I do is training rides and club rides. I will never race.

I also have Topolinos wheels and a mixture of Campy Record and Chorus so my components are fairly light, but they could be lighter.

I think I will visit the Calfee factory in the near future and ride a few of their frames. I would like to compare the ride of a Dragonfly, Tetra and a Bamboo. A friend just bought a Calfee Bamboo and loves it. However, he rides really long rides. He rode a 504 mile ride on it and yesterday rode it in a double century. He tells me that the Bamboo bike is the most comfortable bike he has ever ridden.

The concerns I have with the Bamboo is the weight of the frame which is about 3.5 lbs where the D?fly is 2 lbs; and longevity of the frame. Calfee warranties the Bamboo frame for 10 years like the Luna and not 25 like the D?fly and the Tetra.
