“They’re sophisticated pieces. Each demands dozens of slabs of smooth, quality timber and a sense for artistry married with practicality.”
Katie Park for the Philadelphia Inquirer, June 2019

Built for strength
LaVallee bike frames are made from reclaimed hardwoods—from ash and cherry to chestnut and walnut - some of the strongest, most durable woods known to man. These hardwoods produce bicycle frames which are durable, practical, beautiful and completely unique. Each frame is made with the following material principles in mind:
Density
Strength
Stiffness
Geometric Stiffness
Bottom line: LaVallee bikes are built for riding, just like titanium and aluminum framed bikes.
