Description Luna Pro Our lower priced road racing frame made with carbon tubes bonded to gusseted carbon lugs. 10 year warranty. 54cm frame weighs 2.75 lbs.
Summary: Calfee Luna. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS since I bought it. The rear downtubes were mounted in the lugs at an angle resulting in constant chain throws. Frame was sent back twice for repair and when I got it back, the frame was cracked.

Bike Setup: Calfee Luna Pro, full Dura Ace, Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels, 3T Forgie bar & stem, San Marco Apside Ti Saddle w/ Thomson elite seat post
Summary: This is about as close to perfection as it gets. First it is a super strong light high performance frame. Second the thin tubes give it that Italian steel look. Paint job looks like a Gibson Les Paul guitar. Cost me a little less than the Trek Project-1 I was looking at. I rode the Calfee and a similar Trek 5500 at a local bike store. Calfee sprinted better and got me back to the shop 2 minutes faster than the Trek.
Strengths: Strong, light fast, and comfortable. The paint jobs are truely outstanding. Super customer service. I didn't know it but I dealt w/ Craig Calfee directly

Bike Setup: Ultegra groupo, with shimano SPD-SL600 pedals, Spinergy Xaero Lite wheels, Easton carbon seatpost
Summary: Absolutely the best bike I have ever owned or riden. It feels like a feather under me, and the Calfee really smooths out the bumps in the road. I went with the cabernet red fade and what a beauty it is. Price above includes frame only. Complete bike was $2,500.
Strengths: Carbon-fiber is light and responsive. Paint job is to die for. Bike is built to esacting standards.
Weaknesses: None

Bike Setup: Record 10, 1.125 Ouzo Pro, FSA carbon crank, Ksyrium Elites, Vittoria CXs, Speedplay 0s
Summary: Fantastic ride. Fit happens to be spot-on for me which certainly helps a lot. Terrific combination of all-day comfort, quick and drivetrain stiffness. First ride out of the box was 80miles up the coast and it felt like a lounge-chair. Blue clearcoat is phenomenal looking. In the shade it's a stately solid blue, but in the sun it dazzles with the carbon weave highly visible underneath. And all this for a reasonable price compared to other high-end (and less exotic) frames.
Strengths: All-day comfort, quick and drivetrain stiffness. Classy and unique appearance.
Weaknesses: none
