I just got my BQ today, I love the color (did not expect to), and I love the Calfee. I won't even spend $12,000 on a car, so odds are I won't spend $12,000 on a bike, but I'm glad it exists. I think Craig Calfee is the real deal - he shows up at Podunk bike expos with his bamboo frame jigs, and I meet people with his 15 year old carbon bikes still rolling strong. And... He sweeps the BQ lottery with his Adventure bike, the equal of any bike they've ever tested.
This almost seems off-topic for the Riv group, but one of Rivendell's early goals was to make bikes without parallel: thousand dollar paintjobs, unique custom lugs, the most beautiful bikes with the best ride. I think Calfee bikes are striving for the same thing, but with a different aesthetic. Also, it had Enve carbon 650B rims... the Grant - Jan - Kirk trifecta of fun have hoisted 650B into the mainstream, can you believe it?
