Should I actually bother to make a serious reply?
Calfee has been making carbon frames longer than just about anyone. His frames are made in his shop; he offers three "off the shelf" frames and a wide range of custom and repair services.
I've had two Calfees ; my current race rig is a Luna Pro (the lower end model he offers). I love the bike. It's a very comfortable ride, no buzzes or rattles unlike some of my other bikes. It comes in at about 16.5 pounds with a rather pedestrian buildup (DA 9 speed w/DA 10 cranks, Vuelta 50mm carbon tubular wheels).
If you want a bike you can keep for a long time, consider a Calfee. Both of mine were purchased used and my current one might be 10+ years old. It still rides amazingly.
