Congratilations to Julie Swail Ertel for making the Olympic Team!
Here's Julie, leading the charge at the Olympic trials on her Dragonfly Tri. Perhaps her success was partially from the reduced vibration found on the bike, giving her extra energy for the run.

We have been building carbon fiber bike frames since 1988. Our durable frames have performed well in world class competitions like the Hawaii Ironman and the Tour de France. Some very famous athletes have raced on our bikes, often under different brands.
We are pleased to see that most of the other quality frame builders have finally realized that carbon fiber is the material of choice for a bicycle frame. Our long experience with the material gives us the advantage in knowing how to get the best ride quality and longevity by orienting the fiber in the most effective manner. The technical papers published here will help you cut through the marketing hype that is so common in this industry.
While we enjoy making custom frames (from 30 cm to 70 cm frame sizes), only about 12% of the population really needs a full custom frame. For the rest of us, you can get many custom options without paying for full custom. Buy a BarStem with the savings!
If you are ready to try something completely different, perhaps the Bamboo bike is it!
Technical superiority and customer service is our specialty. I invite you to find out why our products are so exceptional and to join our growing family of satisfied cyclists.
Check out the "Calfee Owner's Forum" on advice and news about our bikes and accessories. Feel free to post your questions and comments. Although Calfee Design monitors the forum occasionally, if you have specific questions, please contact us directly. I am often available to discuss your needs personally.
