"BAMF stands
for exactly what you think it does. BAMF doesn’t roll like those pretty
boys with matching lycra kits and expensive power meters. If you ride a
bike, and we mean really ride a bike, you know the cold burn
on your face in the dead of winter, the sound of a body hitting the
ground and the taste of a warm beer in the morning. You don’t ride so
you can shave your legs and drive around town with a bike on the rack
hoping to be seen…You hunt those types down and smirk as you rip past
leaving them and their GPS and sunblock keychain wondering what the hell
happened?
All the BAMF bikes are black (like the guys at BAMF are going to
fight over color pallets) and come with minimal decal and a killer 4
color (gold, white, purple and blue) sticker kit for you to create the
look you want. Put the stickers on the bike, a cop car or your friend’s
back. They take bikes seriously…like tattoos. They don’t want you to
show up and see the exact same machine as some poser. BAMF wants you to
make it your own. Bikes are a permanent fixture in their life and they
pour that passion into their work. The Piledriver is a serious bike as
you can tell from the name. It will turn your world upside-down."
As quoted from the company website, and I believe 'em. I am working on one right now and it looks like a beast next to my trusty Critical. From the forks to the frame, this is one solid ride.
Those good peeps in Boulder start with a sturdy steel frame based on a fixed gear frame but then they widened out the wheel clearance to
allow for super beefy tires, 40c on 700c wheels, then they went and slapped on Promax/Bengal mechanical brakes! The urban saddle is exceptionally comfortable as well. The BAMF crank with a
46t chainring and the 16t cog combination is perfect for getting those fat wheels
turning.
I am in love with this bike folks, and am going to enjoy working and riding on it!
