Our Italian manufacturing partners sit at the base of the Medieval foothills of Tuscany, about halfway between Florence and Pisa. This small factory, founded by two friends over forty years ago, is one of the last that is still family-owned and operated, with two generations of craftsmen working and riding side-by-side every day.

Tuscany is the spiritual home of cycling, and it's good to work with partners who test their product often. At 70 years old the founders can still more than hold their own.
With roads like these, you'd ride every day too.
