Thanks again, as I read more and more and read what you have written, my decision is becoming more clear. Do you know if Craig would have some photo's of some recent D'flys he has done? Thanks, you seem like one of those guys who is not caught up in all the hype with the crazy carbon world of mainstream bikes.

Another reason that I like Calfee so much is that they have been extremely helpful every time I have had to call them. If you were to call Calfee, I am sure they could find some photos of a new Dragonfly to send you. You might also want talk with Craig about the Dfly.

Before I bought a Calfee I was convinced that I wanted a titanium bike. I road several ti bikes some costing twice what a new Calfee Luna cost. Then, I thought I would try a few carbon fiber bikes and rode a Calfee. I only had to ride a Luna about 20 feet to know that something was different about it. I ended up riding it maybe a 1/2 mile and from that point forward have been a Calfee fan.

A Calfee delivers on everything that I want in a bike. The order of importance on a bike to me is first and foremost, ride quality, then performance and then durability and repairability. Styling and looks take a distant fourth place. Well, a Calfee has a wonderful ride quality, is a capable performer and probably among the most durable and repairable carbon fiber bikes made. As I said styling is not very important to me. My Tetra has a nude finish which some think has an industrial look but to me I like it much better than paint. A nude finish is much more durable than paint and weighs less than paint.

I am not too enthused with the current crop of high tech looking carbon bikes that I have seen. I haven't seen another bike I would trade my Calfee for.

Good luck with your research,

Bruce
