So much hotness. So much.

I love the black headtube detailing on the etap road. Really makes the fork work in nicely (and the gold headbadge!)

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

When Chris King asked us to build a titanium cyclocross bike to showcase their limited edition “Olive Crate” parts group to celebrate their 40th anniversary… we were like "Hell yeah!"

So here it is ::




















































It will go up for sale in January after a little globetrotting. Give us a shout for details if you are interested.

Boy howdy do you guys sure know how to photograph your sweet bicycles, too! Nice.
Titanium bikes are among the favorites that I own and look forward to a Firefly someday.

Our last 4 advertisements from Bicycle Quarterly. These were fun.

Agreed. I'm doubly proud because my bike is in one of them. Though I now feel pressure to beat, "the barcode goes under the cheese wedge," as my finishing request for the next one.

have you posted images of the machining that creates the swarf? If so I missed them. I'd be fascinated to see how you controlled tube runout.

We haven't posted any sufficiently detailed images that would adequately explain how we control runout, but fighting it was one of our main battles.

We vaguely explain it a little HERE.

We are more than satisfied with the control we have over the end result. (Jamie is a genius)

If you really want to fully appreciate our solution you must come visit in person!

The Nardini goes to 10. The Gnardini goes to 11.

Be careful. They'll show you how it works, but then they'll have to kill you.

They wouldn't let me try it. Some sort of quality control measure to not let visitors near heavy machinery. It's very, very cool to see the control they have over the tubes, though.

Is there a picture of a tapered heatube around 20cm somewhere ? Interested to check this out.
