I met up with him and he is a super talented young guy that started out doing what most guys on here could do in their own garage
Carbon fibre is a great material to design and build with if its used correctly it will out perform most materials but like everything in life it does have its limitations
I've not designed a bicyle in CF yet but years ago explored ways to make individual bespoke geometry frames in CF for a very successful steel bike builder www.dario-pegoretti.com/
Quickly worked out the geometry changes are too limitless to suit CF manufacturing techniques |
Well, gosh dangit, that too cool. I thought the old man didn't like any other materials but steel. I like his bikes just not the stupid paint job. I think he's limits himself in the money dept by staying steel only with limited buyers, but that's the typical traditional Italian way. Last I heard he has cancer but ate fighting it
