- This is a serious bike. It is appropriate for everyday
use and for racing. Each frame is built to order and every frame is
a unique. Tubes are selected for the weight of the rider. The geometry
of the frame can be any of our usual geometries: Pro, Tri or Cross.
Custom frames can also be made.
- Details. Water bottle mounts tend to disrupt the
aesthetic of the frame so alternative water carrying methods are encouraged.
Because of the larger diameter of the Bamboo, 1 1/8" head tubes
look better. If the frame is being used where comfort is the primary
objective, the 1" steerer fork is the better choice for riders
weighing 180 pounds or less.
- Finish. Black Bamboo has natural oil that simply
gets rubbed with a cloth to obtain a beautiful, semi-gloss finish.
Clearcoats and paints won't stick to it. Occasional wiping down with
a furniture oil is advised to maintain the beautiful finish.
The Calfee Bamboo bike was awarded the People’s
Choice Award at the 2004 North American Handmade Bicycle Show in Houston.
