Same brand road bike & TT bike as me, but I’m a notch down on the food chain, Tetra Pro & P2K. Although the P3 is a great bike, the Calfee wins the unique/conversation piece award.
Thanks. I think the Dragonfly weighs around 16. The wheels & tires definitely add a bit. With some 303 tubulars and lightweight skewers, the bike would probably be under 15.

The Alps are fast wheels, but they go out of true too much and it seems like the Hed factory guys are the only ones capable of truing them.
I only use the Mtb for hillclimbs – and it’s great for that. I’m using it for a climb this week where I’ve calculated that each ounce costs 2 seconds.
It’s pre-suspension vintage (1990, I think) ; I don’t think I could put a suspension fork on it if I wanted to.
jens, i declare, you are a master. if you’d like to never hear the word no again, tell your wife this:
“come here Pretty and sit down. you work too hard, so let me rub your feet while relax. you must make all other women jealous–you can do everything and you’re gorgeous. what did I do to deserve you.”
I agree with Fleck…these bike look way too clean. In my training group, the guys with the dirtiest bikes are the fastest cause they have no time to clean due to mega training.
Nice bikes but the question can you push these babies
Maybe this will answer Fleck, et al. too…
Hee, hee, don’t get me started. I’m not modest, but more like one of those characters in the Iliad, hollering lyric poetry about past exploits at their enemies across the river.
The Calfee goes up Old La Honda Road < 17 min. The Mtb does it <18 – with 2.0 inch tires. (if you’re from the SF area, this might be meaningful).
As for the P3: 1st Place in the Oregon State TT Championships and the Bronze Medal in the Masters Worlds TT (Edmonton, Canada) this year.
If you have any doubts, I encourage you to join me for a ride sometime.
