HAND BUILT FRAMES - ONE AT A TIME...

DeSalvo Cycles uses only the finest tube sets and parts available. We like to involve the customer in the process of designing their bicycles. From a custom geometry built to your body to a finish built to your taste. Paul handles all of the measurements and custom fitting, and in a few weeks time, you get a one-of-a-kind frame. Paul can assemble a handpicked custom build kit and fine-tune the setup until you have the sweetest ride around.

STEEL FRAMES

When it comes to frame materials, nothing can match the history or aura of steel. To this day, steel remains one of the best riding materials around, creating a frame you'd swear is not only alive, but reading your mind.

Light, stiff, lively, resilient: a steel frame is one that leaves you smiling and ready for more. It's hard to outperform steel when it comes to value, and DeSalvo Cycles steel frames are the result of the best marriage of workmanship and material to be found, at a price that leaves the same impression as the ride.

At DeSalvo Cycles we build our steel frames from only the finest tube sets available from Columbus and True Temper. Each tube set is chosen to give you the best possible ride for the given application. Some of our frames utilize a mix of tubing where we've found it beneficial to enhance the ride qualities of the frame. The dropouts and braze-ons found on DeSalvo Cycles frames are also only the best available. For dropouts we choose from Ritchey or Breezer on our multi-speed bikes and Paul or Sub 11 for the single speeds. Our cantilever bosses are the three-piece style from Paragon Machine Works.

TITANIUM FRAMES

If you are searching for the ultimate frame material, look no further than titanium. Titanium offers an amazing strength-to-weight ratio and superb corrosion resistance to produce a light, resilient frame that will last a lifetime. At DeSalvo Cycles we take pride in producing beautiful titanium frames. To build these frames we use only the finest U.S. made tubing and frame fittings, chosen specifically for their high quality and precise tolerances.

Such materials paired with meticulous TIG welding and attention to detail at every step leads to the creation of a masterpiece. It's almost a shame to get one of these dirty, but you will; for as nice as they are to look at, DeSalvo Cycles titanium frames are even nicer to ride.
