Calfee

Calfee Design, headquartered in La Selva, California, is a designer and manufacturer of high-end carbon fiber bicycle frame sets. The company is a world leader in carbon fiber bicycle technology, and its products are used by professional and serious amateur racers, as well as cycling enthusiasts.

Founder Craig Calfee made bicycle frames for 3 time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond. Stock and custom frames and complete bicycles are sold through retail dealers.

Actor Robin Williams is a serious cyclist who has been photographed on his custom Calfee bicycle.

Calfee was awarded overall "Best Road Bike" and "Best Off-Road Bike" at the 2006 North American Handmade Bike Show, where they displayed some of the bamboo bikes that went into retail production in 2005. The bamboo frame started as a publicity stunt in 1996, but its desirability, reliability and favorable technical characteristics encouraged the company to add it to their catalog.

Calfee Design also pioneered the use of boron fibers in bicycle frame production. The combination of boron and carbon fibers in a frame allow higher stiffness to weight ratios than would be possible with carbon fiber alone.
