Calfee Design, headquartered in La Selva, California, is a designer and manufacturer of carbon fiber bicycle frames.
Founder Craig Calfee made bicycle frames for Tour de France winner Greg LeMond. Stock and custom frames and complete bicycles are sold through retail dealers.
Actor Robin Williams has been photographed on a custom Calfee bicycle.
Calfee was awarded overall "Best Road Bike" and "Best Off-Road Bike" at the 2006 North American Handmade Bike Show, where it displayed bamboo bikes that went into retail production in 2005. The bamboo frame started as a stunt in 1996.[1]
Calfee Design also pioneered boron fibers. The combination of boron and carbon fibers allow higher stiffness to weight ratios than carbon fiber alone.
