Calfee Stiletto Pick by Velo News as one of the top 5 coolest bikes of Interbike

Awesome...

Freddy, any chance of a preview showing of the Stiletto for us Bay
Area locals? I live in the East Bay and work in Sunnyvale but would
certainly make a trip over for a look at the new carbon land shark

Thanks,

In my book this is huge since I can't even remember the last time VN
even printed the word recumbent. ...
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

classic LWB (i.e., GRR )designs beat SWB's out of
the blocks for comfort, control, safety and overall human "fit".


Yeah, right. What an objective unbiased conclusion.

GEE Robert, I ENJOY ALL of *THAT + a lighter weight bike and no BIG plastic

Go baby! Your dream may be coming true. Good for you for going for it, no
matter what anyone thinks.

I am still wondering why Easy Racers isn't building what looks like a
carbon fiber Tour Easy?
Is the remote steering a design improvement or a way to save weight?

BTW, the CF fairing for my new Ti Rush looks and works great, Freddy:
light and quiet. Took the bike and fairing for its maiden ride
today.

Pictures?

Best of luck with the Stiletto.

Ditto.

Cheers.

Quite possibly because they do not have the expertise or experience
working with cabon fiber.

From both an engineering and sales standpoint, it seems very sensible,
to me, to partner with a company like Calfee, which is renowned for
producing very high quality carbon frames.

To improve low speed handling on LWB bents, the head tube angle needs to
be reduced (from say 59 degrees (Tour Easy's and V2's), to 65-70
degrees). Doing this however, moves the handle bar excessively forward.
"Remote steering" solves this problem, but ADDS a little weight,
complexity and manufacturing cost.
