We still have a few of the old ones kicking about. Some are now art pieces but others are ready to ride!
Looking forward to what comes next for bamboo and Calfee designs

This is the third time this bike has seen our workbench.
1st was its creation, 2nd was its travel coupler addition, and now it's back to become an ebike! It's always nice to see an old friend!
We updated the bike to have disc brakes as well as a new fork and rear dropouts to use through axles.

Fresh off the stand to its new home in Germany. This tandem is built for good times on any road or trail. This bike was supplied with both a rigid and suspension fork.
Wherever your ride takes you, we can build the bike to match.

Three friends dropped by for a shop tour and as a treat we sent them out on the bamboo triplet!
Bamboo is an excellent material for bikes. We are committed to bamboo as a sustainable bike material and are working towards launching a new model in the next few months!

Hills feeling steeper every year? We get it. That is why we started doing Calfee Electrofits. Custom e‑bike upgrades for tandems and more.
This older couple loved their new e‑bikes but missed the magic of riding together. So we gave their tandem a boost with a Grin Tech motor, travel‑safe batteries.

This rider reached out with a dream, a bamboo e-bike to match her bamboo road bike.
We couldn’t resist. The result? A stunning, capable machine built to last for years of adventure and everyday rides alike.
What dream bikes do you fall asleep to?

Inspired to post today after an order came in for a tandem bike for a couple who reminded us why we do this.
She recently lost her vision, and riding tandem is how they’re choosing to keep adventuring together.
Honored to be a small part of something so meaningful. ❤️

Throwback Thursday!
Dusting off a classic Lemond “Alp d’ Huez” prototype. This beautiful bike weighs only 8.7 kg and later inspired our legendary Calfee Tetra model.

This special WIP Aero Track tandem is headed to an Olympic team shortly. Notice the extra stiffener on the boom tube? Those Track racers are quite strong and need the extra stiffness.
This photo shows the detail work we put into our frames.
Often we hide our best work under those fancy paint jobs!
