I've looked at Calfees many times and very much appreciate the quality, but I could never get past the gussets, or whatever they are called to strengthen the tubing joints. I like the look of the Parlee with the larger diameter tubing and more traditional lug-like bonding. Plus, it would be very difficult to mount a full size pump under the top tube and the idea of strapping a pump to the seatstay is like putting a roof rack on a Porsche. >88% of my riding is solo so I do not like to depend on CO2 and don't care for mini-pumps. I guess I just like the aesthetic and some design qualities of the Parlee more than the Calfee, and will end up buying neither. Post Extras
