Why the Luigino?

This new frame should be built as a tribute to the Italian school of frame builders of the '70s & '80s. After much searching certain original parts that were used in this period were found, and the dropouts, fork tips and cable guides are all original Campagnolo parts.

The lugs used on the frame are hand filed before building to a modern Heat Treated tubeset. This is not a nostalgic frame building exercise, but a frame built to show the value of the high quality workmanship at that time; a level that has generally now been lost.

The diameters of the main tubes have been adjusted, no longer the classic 25.4/28.6/28.6. This is because road surfaces are now better and smoother and also it will offer better performance. The result is a frame of extraordinary comfort and handling. This is also thanks to the unsurpassable responsiveness of the flat crown forks. All these elements together make a high performance and reactive frame. The end result is a frame that is almost an exact copy of frames built in the past and to the same high standards of those years which were so very creative.
