I had 2 Luna Pros. Unfortunately, I was late to discover that the BB shell is offset 3mm to the drive side on these bikes. I found out when I started to develop severe hip and knee problems which were made worse by a slight leg length discrepancy. I'm sure the BB offset would not be an issue with most people but it caused me big problems. IDK know why the bikes are built that way but I can't ride them.

I have owned two Calfees. My first one was a Luna Pro which I rode for a year until someone offered me a used Tetra Pro with a taller head tube which fit me better.
I absolutely love my Tetra and will keep it for as long as I live. It is a great performing bike that is also very comfortable on long rides. Also, Calfee knows how to build a bike that will last. I have never heard of a Calfee breaking unless it is because of a crash and then Craig Calfee can fix it.
I will own other bikes but I will never sell my Calfee Tetra Pro.

I have a 7 year old Tetra Pro that is still going strong, never had a lick of trouble.
