Calculus Bikes

Indeed, were still going strong with our custom Ti projects!

IMHO lots of the recommendations seems directed to bikes used for more technical riding than what Mr Mol would use it for; adding bling to the build, but also weight and not giving the ideal ride for his application. Typical case of nice to look at, but no real difference between any other "new" bike his had. Something longer, with less progressive geometry and travel not more than 120 front and 100mm rear would be my recommendation.

Something like this with a bit of 12k twill paint by Jared...and a F34 upfront, obviously also custom painted and colour matched to some classic CK parts.

Hi 45, we would love to give you a hand with the prototype. You can drop me a line at millar@calculus-bikes.com

For those asking; yes this is one of ours. Super cool project we did with MUNGA specific details such as: - 5x Bottle cages on the frame. - Custom geo. - 650b 2.8" rear wheel, and 29er front with the Lauf. Last said feature is really interesting and worked a charm keeping the rider body in tact on the famous "sinkplaat".

Hi Dylan, thanks for the shout-out. Looking forward to get you riding on your CALCULUS asap. Nice and racy geometry on this project for a gravel.

Will see you guys and girls there, showcasing some of the latest projects we have been working on...

The ultimate cheat-sheet to some awesome non-main stream manufacturers: https://pinion.eu/en/bicycle-manufacturers/ Enjoy!

Ok, we will play: How does 30% discount on a project sound if we have more than 150 entrants in the pool?

A Custom geometry one I assume?

Should we not have a bit of a prize for the winner of the pool? Any suggestions?

Final touches over the weekend, here she is: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqnNsGMnzds/

Nice and clean setup!

Local, boutique, custom Ti frame, drop us a line

How are those rigs looking from the weekends testing? Would love to see some of your setups (if it's not too secret)!

Final prep begin!

All cheers for Heinrich from our side and he will also be taking a secret weapon to the race...

Hi Jonesy. Glad you approve of the work we are doing. We really try our best to put the rider in the center of the design process to deliver something special. Every smile thereafter we get from a client shows a job well done. Pricing for a gravel frame like Zandre's is R35k for the total custom titanium design project from bike fit to delivery. Check your PM for further details. Kind regards Millar

Nothing like a fresh winter morning race to get the lungs burning! Enjoy the Trailseeker.

..mmm, might or might not be one of the previous winners of the MUNGA.

Hi, handlebar type related to the reach of the bike. We went through a lot of trouble to get the frame handling right with different handlebar and stem combinations. Whilst keeping rider position a priority. If you don't get this right, you end up riding a hardtail with drops that equals terrible handling, and position which is no good for something like the MUNGA. Noting to do with the hardware of the frame, just* the geometry.

Don't quite agree with "carbon will be more forgiving for certain". Comparing Alum frame with CF frame "forgivingness" (compliance) based only on the type of material used is not very informed. You are firstly comparing an isotropic material to a composite, and also ignoring geometry, tube profiles and layups of the CF which has a much larger impact on ride characteristics of the frame than the material used. Point is: ride different frames (if possible) test different tires and wheels and decide on the feel of the total setup. Cheers CB

Smart man, a custom is the way to go!

Looking forward to the next couple of days, and enjoying the view on the roads! See you at registration.
