Espresso

Because steel is too good not to build with

For each Espresso, we draw from a selection of Dedacciai, Reynolds and Columbus tubing. Exactly which blend we choose for your Espresso depends on you. The constants in the equation are an exhaustive approach to engineering, deft construction and high end steel. The cost of mass fabrication may have driven steel out of favor with factory builders, but its material qualities remain perfectly suited to building amazingly spirited, high performance bicycles.

Standard geometries

We offer a range of standard sizes that can be adapted to according to your preference. Standard size bikes are not 'off the rack'. We don’t pre-build frames or hold stock. We offer standard sizes from 48 to 63cm in 1cm increments for road bikes (48-52 with 650c wheels). Once a size is selected, we tailor the geometry to make the bike specific to you. For road bikes this means adjusting the altering the top tube length (±10mm), head tube length (±5mm) and top tube slope (4-6°). You can read more about our approach to fitting on the custom fit page.
