About Us

This website is all about Classic Factory Lightweight Bicycles. There are other websites with greater emphasis on bespoke classic lightweights, many of which are beautifully crafted, but their impact on world cycling was negligible compared to the output of the factories which produced many more bikes, generally at much lower cost, for the full range of customers – all ages, all types of bicycle usage. Our interest here, though, is the bicycles that were intended for racing and the bicycles that were the same as, or closely replicated, the bicycles used by sponsored team members.
