I also had another thought I forgot to include that I should have really put in my disclaimer ...

Since I was not the original owner of this bike, it very likely the tubes selected for the original owner don't exactly match up with my weight. I am a heavier guy than the original owner (not a whole lot - but I am) so had I ordered this frame built for me they might have used different tubes accordingly.

Just a thought.

James had confirmed what I had thought. Calfee can make a Bamboo Pro as stiff as necessary by using larger diameter tubes. Any flex can be eliminated while still maintaining that comfortable ride quality.

For a long distance bike, I think it is probably a great choice. The only down side might might be its repairability. If I were to scrape up the carbon on my Tetra, it can be fixed. Bamboo might be a little more difficult.

Have you picked up any dings and scraps from flying rocks?
