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, the 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 tube-to-tube, layering Italian carbon tubing.
These are unique frames that perform beautifully, stiff, responsive, lightweight, yet extremely comfortable. The power transmission when climbing is amazing; they handle like a dream in demanding situations, especially descending and cornering - inspiring the confidence to go faster while always being in control…. and of course with the aesthetic 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.
