Calfee Stiletto Pick by Velo News as one of the top 5 coolest bikes of Interbike
In my book this is huge since I can't even remember the last time VN
even printed the word recumbent. I know most of you here probably don't know what VN is, only the best bike racing mag there is really.I know this must sicken a few of you...but it's making our day at Calfee. This is the bike a lot of those racers will buy. Oh and Joshua, the fairings are around in just about any color you want. You folks hang in there....RCN and BROL will have test articles in there soon. In 2004 I'll be taking the Stiletto around the country for various events so some of you will see first hand just how nice these bikes are and how well they go Freddy |

Congrats
BTW the deal was the 1st one sold to someone other than Gabriel (with the fairing attached) before Dec.31...I would not accept (you know what) if I won. The Toronto Bike Show is the end of February at the National Trade Centre..3 days where manufacturers and dealers let the Lycra dudes kick the tires...not a lot of bents show up though, but enough to keep it interesting...so if UR in the neighborhood drop by....PS I hear the weather is nice in Buffalo NY Feb 28 HaHa Joshua ***** wrote in message m...

NO knock on the Stiletto, i'm sure it's a great bike, but "cool'? not
IMO, it's a carbon fiber toureasy. My guess it got the nod, being carbon fiber, but more so, due to "Fast Freddie". Now Karl Swanson's CF bike, that's cool :-) EVSolutions wrote: Congrats BTW the deal was the 1st one sold to someone other than Gabriel (with the fairing attached) before Dec.31...I would not accept (you know what) if I won.

Go baby! Your dream may be coming true. Good for you for going for it, no
matter what anyone thinks. Your lifetime of fast recumbent riding experience is summed up in the new Fast Freddy-Calfee Stiletto ... and I for one hope it is the leader of the next generation of REALLY FAST recumbents. If you can make a truly fast, durable and lightweight roadie LWB, you will be a BIG winner because classic LWB (i.e., GRR )designs beat SWB's out of the blocks for comfort, control, safety and overall human "fit". Good, no great, luck!!! Gator Bob Siegel in Gainesville FL wrote in message m... In my book this is huge since I can't even remember the last time VN even printed the word recumbent.

I did. ;-))
the fact that RCN's Bob Bryant has expressed essentially the same opinion doesn't make me right, but .... However, you are correct that a ZZipper-faired Ti Rush with a few extras --- pedals, cyclometer, bottle cages, kickstand ---weighs in the mid-30 pound range. I own one.

I think it is kinda cool having a DF builder like Calfee take a chance on a
LWB and then have it turn out this good. IF it works financially for Fred Markham and Calfee, then Calfee AND other high quality DF builders will be more inclined to do bent designs of their own and we all win. If this works out well for Fast Freddie I'll bet Gardner Martin will be sleeping with one eye open. I Still don't trust the Black Fairing though LOL Joshua ***** "Robert Siegel" wrote in message ...
