MATERIAL RENAISSANCE – STEEL FRAME

Do you think a modern bike frame must be made of aluminum or carbon fiber? We prefer to trust the qualities of modern steel. No other basic material has satisfied our demands in terms of sustainability and ecological awareness. Steel is comparatively easily processed and recycled. Steel frames balance an ideal combination of shock absorbtion, stiffness and long-life. That’s why it is our frame material of choice. Our slim and elegant CrMo-steel frames are manufactured using traditional lugged construction, setting benchmarks in stability and appearance. Frame weight plays a different role with everyday bicycles than with racing bikes, on or off the road. The components we choose are a balance of performance, weight and durability. This compensates for the slightly higher weight of a steel bicycle – a lock and a water bottle weigh twice as much. Every compromise in weight would be a loss of longevity and comfort.
