Order & Process

Each bike starts with a conversation, and each conversation starts with you.

I want to hear about you, where and how you like to ride, your style, your likes and dislikes, your cycling history, and what you want to get out of your new bike. We will talk about what is working and not working with your current fit and setup, take some measurements, and work on a design that will accommodate your unique body dimensions and riding style so that it performs beautifully.
Next I will create a design for you and send you a copy of the blueprint for you look at. We'll discuss the design, answer questions, and make any needed changes.

When you approve the design I will acquire the tubing and fittings for your bike and set them aside until your spot in my fabrication schedule comes up.

When your spot is here I build your bike and yours only. When complete it goes to Spectrum Powder Works for the finish to be applied. If you are getting a complete bike, I will acquire your parts before the frame comes back from finishing so it can be assembled right away. The frame comes back, gets inspected, final frame preparation is done and it is carefully assembled and test ridden. It is now ready to go to its new owner for miles and miles of smiles.

The process is fun and individual. Just give me a call to ask me questions, discuss your next bike, and place your order. It would be my pleasure to build you a special bike.

bikes

You may be a commuter, a racer, a trail rider, a group ride junkie, a lone wolf roaming the mountain roads, a fitness fanatic, or just enjoy your recreation on two wheels. No matter which, we are united by our love of riding and can all relate to those special moments we experience on the bike. I share your passion for riding and love to build bikes that fit and perform beautifully. Each bicycle I make is designed and built for you, the rider. This means that the frame dimensions are sized to fit you; the geometry is tuned to perform well for your size and riding style; tubing is selected to meet your design goals; the design allows for the components of your choice; you have your choice of fittings/braze-ons; and the frame is finished in your choice of colors and artwork. The result is a bike that works with you, becomes an extension of you, and is your partner for cycling adventures.

road

Whether you're idea of a good time is rolling along deserted country roads chatting with friends, or you like to push each other to the limit for the city limits sprint or the top of the hill, a custom Caletti road bike is sure to make you smile, even if it's a grimace of anaerobic pain.

Frames are made from butted high strength steel alloy tubing. Tubes are selected and geometry tuned to meet your goals of fit, comfort, stiffness, and handling.


mountain

Find your flow on the trail with a dialed-in custom Caletti bike. Hardtails in your choice of wheel size (26", 650B, or 29") that are agile through the twists and turns and provide a solid platform for powering up climbs and accelerating towards the next berm.

cross

Perhaps the bike I get asked to build most often. A very versatile machine that can take on almost any terrain. This capable traveler can take you across town, up a quiet fire road, along a winding singletrack, and back on the pavement for a ride that knows no bounds. Some people are looking for a race style 'cross bike that is light, quick, and stripped down to the bare essentials, and others are looking for more of a mixed route tourer and winter training bike, with rack and fender mounts. Let's talk about your riding aspirations and design a bike that suits your needs.
