From his passion for bikes came a desire to study mechanical engineering at university which then led to him opening his first bike shop where he began the manufacture of racing bikes. His big breakthrough came in 1958 when the famous Raphael Geminiani asked him to build a bike for his next Giro d'Italia campaign. Ugo did such a good job that his bikes became a permanent fixture in the pro peloton during the 60s with the Faema team the first squadra to ride on De Rosas. In 1969 De Rosa started building for the Motta team as well. Around this time a certain Eddy Merckx started riding and winning on De Rosas and in 1973 De Rosa became the official frameset suppliers to the all conquering Molteni team as well as for Francesco Moser's Filotex team, a self titled De Rosa team led my world champion Moreno Argentin and Ariostea, a small team that soon became dominant on the pro circuit.

This success led to major demand for De Rosa bikes worldwide during the 70s and 80s which is good news for us retro fans and was good news for Ugo de Rosa who was joined in the expanding business by his three sons and a new larger premises. In 1990, as well as steel, De Rosa began researching titanium and came up with the Titanio which was used by the Gewiss team in 1994 with carbon fibre added in 1995 aluminium added in 2000. If you are looking for a classic Italian frame marque you absolutely can't go wrong with a De Rosa.

Officially started in 1997, around the time the Merlin were being taken over by Saucony, former Merlin founder Rob Vandermark left the Merlin base in Massachusetts and started Seven in Massachusetts. With the background that Rob has in Titanium he is regarded as one of the founders of the titanium bike.

Seven have opted for lower volume and higher workmanship approach in the bike industry and have earned a reputation for craftsmanship, quality and service which is second to none.

Seven Cycles have now branched out from their traditional titanium into carbon fibre and high end steel,

Based out of Cambridge Massachusetts the company was set by Gwyn Jones, Gary Helfrich, and Mike Augspurger in 1986.

Using the best TIG welders they could get hold of they perfected the use of puddle bead surface welds to add a major aesthetic quality to the frame.

The famous mountainbiker Joe Murray was the first recipient of a Merlin titanium frame which he used to defend his national championships title. Merlin road bikes came with a tie up with renowned designer Tom Kellog followed by racing wheel chairs which allowed Bob Hall became the first ever wheelchair entrant in the Boston marathon.

In 1990 Merlin supplied the bikes to the Subaru Montgomery team of Lance Armstrong and Ken Carpenter. On the world stage Tour de France winner Greg Lemond rode Merlins while on the Z team.

Originally started in Celle Ligure in 1938 by two time Milan San Remo winner Giuseppe Olmo along with his brothers Giovanni, Franco and Michele

With Giuseppe on board the company was well primed to know what the needs of those who face a tough climb, and a fundamental understanding of the basic characteristics that make a good bike a "fantastic" bike. It's why in years of endurance cycling Olmo still reach for technical merit, durability and strength with , extremely high levels of quality to meet all of the different needs.

Olmo still employ a system whereby a single person is responsible for the construction of each bike giving them a definite artisan feel rather than something that has come off of a production line.

Not a huge amount of Olmo bikes can be produced each year under this method. Of course Olmo employ modern methods such as computer aided design but these are strictly to aid the person building the bike and not to replace any of the artistic process. It's this attitude that keeps Olmo bikes amongst the most classic in the world.

Typically available in Bianchi Celeste colour Bianchi steel frames stand out as a mark of history and quality in cycling. For the most part Bianchi utilize Columbus steel and still sell steel frames amongst a range that seems to be dominated, as most manufacturers are, of carbon and aluminium, which while nice for the modern cyclist don't have quite the same qualities as a steel frame does for a more discerning cyclist.

Remember to check frame spacing if you want to run 9 or 10 speed as some of the older frames would have been made for 7 or 8 speed (or even fewer) and while steel stays can be coerced (or bent as we call it in technical terms!) outwards there may be a limit to how far you can prise old frames apart to fit newer hubs in.

Reynolds 753 tubing was aimed at professional level racers and top amateurs. It's essentially Reynolds 531 with a reduced wall thickness to keep the weight down but heat treated to increase its tensile strength.

He got Reynolds to combining 753 stays with 531 forks and main tubes which were actually a slightly thinner walled version of regular 531. Reynolds 653 frames are considered one of the most affordable and practical classic frames available.

The Reynolds Tube Company as we know it today was founded in 1889 by John Reynolds in Birmingham, England. In 1897, the Reynolds had patented the process for making tubes which are thicker at the ends than in the middle, which we now call butted that allowed frame builders to create frames that were both lightweight and strong. The double-butted tube-set was the 531 which Reynolds introduced in 1934. Unfortunately Reynolds 531 tubing is now only available on special order so if you want a 531 frame you'd be better off looking back to the classics.

Reynolds 753 tubing was made for professional level racers. It's essentially Reynolds 531 heat treated to increase its tensile strength and with a reduced wall thickness to keep the weight down. It will only be found on frames by built by master craftsmen approved by Reynolds.

Reynolds 653 tubeset came about with the input of former campione di campioni Eddy Merckx. He instructed Reynolds that a vanilla 753 frame was too harsh for certain stages of the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia. Combining 753 stays with 531 forks and main tubes which were actually a slightly thinner walled version of regular 531. This combination worked well for the racers and resulted in an ultra stiff efficient frame while at the same time providing a forgiving ride when needed.

Reynolds 853 was a newer addition to the ranks as a seamless air hardened heat treated tubeset that also came in an OS oversized flavour making it very popular with mtb purists.

Reynolds' latest tubing development is the 953 which they have been designing with Carpenter Special Alloys. Based on a stainless steel alloy with very thin tube walls it is currently only used by a few specialist builders.
