This year, Calfee had no offical booth. However, a couple of gems produced by the California company were on display in the hall. Most noteably, was this very interesting Campagnolo Super Record EPS equipped bike with a very different looking stem. After further inspeciton, it would seem this massive bar stem combo is housing the EPS battery (heavily modified).
Hit the jump for more images, plus Calfee’s take on a Garmin mount, oh, and a pretty nice disc brake cross racer.
Hidden might not be the right word.
Holly Cats! On most frames battery placement may not be exactly svelte but jeebs that oversized malformed wart of a battery holder is way, way fugly.
Not bulbous enough!
So the battery is “hidden” in the most bulbous and ugly stem/bar combo ever? I guess different strokes for different folks, but I think the campy battery looks better than that godawful creation…
It looks like it could be used as a pillow holder. Rest your head on the stem platform and let the bike shift for you!
That stem’s a veritable planetoid. It’s big enough to have its own weather system.
That blue stem looks funny with the black and orange
Now, with airbags.
Who came up with the design for the Garmin mount? West Coast customs? Is the hole underneath the computer an air-intake for a supercharger? 🙂
The one with the Garmin mount has the Di2 battery hidden in the bar, you access the battery thru the barend plug
Sorry, Calfee, but those things are beyond ugly.
So clean, I love it
That’s not a stem, it’s a space station!!!
Kill it with fire!
Hides battery in stem thats 5x the side of a normal stem. Pretty slick…AMIRITE???”
And wtf is up with that gaping hole under the garmin mount?
Oh, now, I know, This also works as a urin pouch on long rides!
is H.R. Giger now working for Calfee ?
What bar tape are they using?
Calfee should have fitted that black hole with a GoPro…
Mark, as if you’d insult H.R. Giger with this crap.
THIS WILL LOOK GREAT ON THE MASERATI BIKE. FUGLY,MEET FUGLY!
Gag!
isn’t that the road bike action gravel racer??
