Waterford
frames
The renaissance in American framebuilding and
design has grown from the many experiments of builders and inventors
who continue to explore new materials, structures, geometries and
applications for the bicycle. While we also experiment and watch
with excitement the developments in our field, we don't believe in
using our riders as test pilots.
We believe that good fit and geometry have more impact on rider
performance than any other factor. Our selection of materials, design
of tubing and lugs as well as integration of other components assures
high performance at every level.
We design and build our bikes so that twenty years from now you
will feel as good about your investment as you did the day you made
it. While many companies have moved toward disposability, we continue
to offer bikes that are completely repairable. We believe this gives
you more choices as a rider: the choice to adapt your bike to future
innovations or to restore your bike to like-new condition. This also
places less stress on our world's precious resources.
Every aspect of every Waterford has been carefully
considered and reconsidered by designers and engineers who love to
ride, and who seek for themselves, and for you, the ultimate bicycle
frame.

Tubesets
Reynolds 953:
Reynolds
953 represents another giant step in steel alloy technology.
It combines the best features of the entire materials
world:
- High Strength
- Corrosion Resistance
- Both weldable and brazeable with air-hardening
characteristics
- High elongation for long life and a great ride.
- Customizability
- High quality control
Though just introduced to the bicycle
world, Reynolds 953 has already set a new standard
of performance for custom bicycle frame building
and selected components. As it continues to develop,
953 comes in an increasing array of tube choices,
allowing an increasing range of sizes and ride characteristics.
Though 953 allows us to build a fully corrosion-resistant
frame, it also lets us offer hybrid frames, where
we build with, let's say, 33-Series S3 main tubes
and Reynolds 953 stays for a quick acceleration and
a light, comfortable and corrosion-resistant rear-end.
OS:
OS2 takes the OS concept to a whole
new level. Taking advantage of advanced air-hardening
technology, OS2 sports a 1 1/4 inch top tube and
1 3/8 inch downtube with wall thicknesses that offer
lighter weight than the comparable OS tubesets with
improved torsional rigidity. What a combination!
S3:
For competition, no tubeset,
no material matches the performance of the S3 technology
tubeset. Designed with True Temper, this tubeset
offers the greatest strength-to-weight ration of
any steel tubeset on the market, in dimensions specifically
designed to offer the edge to competitors of all
kinds, whether criterium, stage race or time trial.
With its special heat treating and ultra-thin walls,
S3 represents the leading edge of tubing performance.
Riders get the performance advantages of steel's
ride, the confidence the comes with remarkably durable
tubing at competitive frame weights.
