ROAD
Fast geometry, short stays, and enough clearance for 30mm because you will want it eventually.
Reynolds 953 stainless
1,640 g
The name, the discipline, and the annotation colour.
Dimension lines, angles and live links only. Never a fill, never a background.
DRAWING 001 / SCALE 1:5 / ALL DIMENSIONS MM
Every frame starts as a drawing and you approve it before a tube is cut. We fit you, we argue with you about the head angle, and then one person brazes the whole thing. Nine to fourteen weeks, about forty frames a year, no models and no sizes.
This is a real orthographic side view of a 56cm road frame, drawn in the order the tubes are tacked: seat tube, top tube, down tube, head tube, then the rear triangle and the fork. The dimensions arrive last, which is also how a fitting session goes.
Reference drawing only. Your sheet is issued at 1:1 with your own fit numbers before any tube is cut.
Fast geometry, short stays, and enough clearance for 30mm because you will want it eventually.
Reynolds 953 stainless
1,640 g
The one most people should order. Slacker, longer, and it takes a rack without looking like it does.
Columbus Spirit
1,810 g
Stiff, steep and utterly single minded. No brake bridge, no mounts, no arguments.
Columbus Max
1,520 g
Low trail, front rack brazed as part of the frame, and lighting run inside the tubes.
Kaisei 8630
2,090 g
Two hours on the jig with your own shoes and pedals. We measure you, then we watch you ride.
A 1:1 sheet issued for your approval. Nothing is cut until you have signed it off.
Tubes selected and cut to the drawing, then filed to fit by hand and tacked in the jig.
Fillet brazed throughout by one builder, then filed back until the joints disappear.
Checked cold on the surface plate, corrected, and checked again. This is the part nobody photographs.
Prepared and painted to your specification, decals under the clear, then packed and shipped.
