IN terms of longevity, I am only 6 months into owning the bike. So far so good! LIke I mentioned, I'm about 2500 miles into it. I don't really plan on riding it much in the winter wiht the rain, but I have ridden it in subfreezing dry conditions.
The ride is smoother than my Luna. It's not day and night, but I notice the difference right away when I switch.
As for weight, both bikes (Bamboo and Luna) weigh about the same now. That's a bit unfair. My Luna is 11 years old, and has older 9 speed Dura-Ace versus 07 Campy Record and lots of carbon elsewhere. My gf got an 07 Luna in a 48 and with primarily SRAM components and some uber cushy (IE Heavy) saddle, the bike weighed 15.25 lbs built up. My suspicions and the Calfee specs would tell me you can build a Luna and hence any of the higher end carbons up lighter than Bamboo.
Having said this, the Bamboo in my estimation is faster than my Luna due to the smoother ride. I've timed rides to and from work and other loops and I am consistently faster on the Bamboo, which I feel is due to the fact the bike feels so good.
Cheers.
