Calfee Design

Calfee Design, headquartered in La Selva, California, is a designer and manufacturer of carbon fiber bicycle frames.

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 won best tandem award at the 2010 North American Handmade Bike Show with a carbon fiber 21 pound tandem Dragonfly bike.

Calfee Design manufactures a bamboo bicycle.[2] Craig Calfee started another business, Bamboosero, with the intention of providing employment opportunities in developing countries. Bamboosero [3] establishes frame building business by providing training, tools, supply chain, and technical support. Bamboosero acts as a customer by purchasing frames from the fledgling (primarily African) businesses in order to resell the bamboo frames in North Americans and Europe.
