CUSTOM STEEL BICYCLES
The Spectrum steel bike is a classic, traditional
beauty. But the workmanship and attention to detail are like nothing
you've ever seen.
Every
Spectrum steel road bicycle comes with a rather surprising feature:
an interview. Because each of our steel bikes is custom built, we
need to know a lot about you. So we ask a lot of questions.
With
these and other answers in hand, we take precise body position measurements
on the bicycle, noting such things as body posture on the bicycle
and hand placement on the brake hoods, handlebar drops and tops.
Only after this exhaustive investigation of what you need in a bicycle
do we begin to build it.
We
start with quad-butted chrome-moly tubing, drawn exclusively for
us by Reynolds, Columbus, True Temper and Dedacciai. After days
of painstaking mitering, fitting and brazing, your frame is ready
for hours of filing, sanding, cleaning and bead-blasting.
Finally
we apply rust inhibiting primers, followed by DuPont ImronŽ paint,
in your choice of patterns and colors. After baking, decals and
seven coats of clear ImronŽ polyurethane are applied. One final
baking gives your new Spectrum a beautiful, protective high-gloss
finish.
Our
steel artistry is unsurpassed, resulting in a bicycle that is stronger
because its component parts fit tighter together.If all of this
sounds like an awful lot of work for a bike, you're right. But it's
the only way we know how to build them.
