Experience is the Key
Italian master frame builders of competition frames since 1947.
Giovanni Taverna, Antonio's grandfather, started the family business in 1947 and they hand-crafted frames as outside contractors for major Italian bicycle brands. Today Antonio and Ferruccio are highly specialised in hand-crafting performance, competition frames using only high-end steel, stainless steel, Titanium and aluminium, made by market leaders like Columbus, Dedacciai and Reynolds.
We consider steel and aluminium as perfectly modern, performance materials
Silver fillet brazed
In particular, their silver fillet brazing method - very rare, skilful, time consuming and expensive - affords brazing at low temperatures, without compromising the tubes' strength. This means that our steel frames are extremely strong and durable and they come with a lifetime guarantee.
Carbon fibre, made to measure, tube-to-tube technology
Our carbon fibre frames are also made to measure and strictly hand crafted in Italy by master artisan frame builders. Especially suitable for performance and competitive levels, these carbon frames are made with the layered up technology, from Italian made carbon tubing.
These are fantastic frames built with high-modulus carbon fibre. Handling and performing beautifully, stiff, responsive, lightweight, powerful, especially climbing, descending and cornering, safe and reliable… and of course with the elegance of the clean lines and minimalist look that characterise all of our projects.
Truly Made to Measure
Our frames are designed and built specifically to our clients bodies, taking into consideration ALL of the points below, down the mm for length and 0.1 degree for angles:
Head tube height // Saddle - handlebars drop // Top tube length // Seat tube angle // Seat tube height // Saddle setback // Headtube angle // Fork rake // Wheelbase length // Front wheelbase // Rear triangle type // Stem length to top tube length proportion // Tube profiles / diameters.
Why made to measure? …Olympic Gold Medalist Jonathan Edwards explains his own made to measure experience.
