    Any Luna owners out there?

    I am considering the purchase of a Luna and would like to hear from any other owners out there. Do you like your Luna and can you give me any advice?

    Are you aware that Margo, the owner of Luna Cycles, is a pretty active poster on this forum?

    I want one... but alas, do not own one yet. When I take the plunge for a custom bike, it will most definitely be a Luna...

    I have two Lunas, an Eclipse (road) and an Orbit (x bike). Loved the Eclipse so much that I bought the Orbit. That kind of says it all. Riding them is a real pleasure---excellent fit, very high quality (solid), ride like butter, very responsive, and just gorgeous machines.

    I consider both bikes excellent investments and expect to enjoy them for many, many years.

    Margo is extremely easy to work with and will do what it takes to make you the bike of your dreams. She sent me regular updates on the progress of my frames, was honest about expectations, found a technical solution to allow me to have what I wanted on my Orbit, etc. The worksmanship and attention to detail --- pride in making an excellent product --- is very evident. I've gotten compliments, from MEN, on my pink/purple Orbit ("wow, that's a really nice bike"). In my very biased opinion, you cannot go wrong with a Luna.

    Feel free to PM me, if you have any questions.

    What she said.

    Wonderful, fantastic, elegant, sexy, efficient, strong, lightweight...and that's just the builder!

    Really, I don't think you can go wrong with a Luna. I hope to get a second one someday. Either an Orbit or a Luna Una. ooooooooh.

    Thanks for the info. Your responses are what I expected. Do any of you have a small frame with 650 wheels? I'm curious what, if any, difference this would make. I'm a bit apprehensive about ordering a custom bike on line although her website seems to cover all the bases.

    Margo "fit" me perfectly from our correspondence. Plus, I believe she has a 30 day return policy....

    BTW, I responded to your PM.

    I'm 5'5" and Margo was able to make me a frame with 700 wheels and I have virtually no problem with toe overlap. I love it.
    I'm sort of 'borderline' inseam size- could go either way on the wheel size. I wanted the 700 and it worked well for me.
