OUR STORY
Daniele has been building steel frames for 23 years, now he runs a bike shop in Santa Croce sull'Arno.
He manages to give life to frames even with the use of a grindstone and file, of course he then welds them.
I am Simone, passionate about biking and working in the engineering sector, together we decided to undertake this adventure that we hope will lead us to do what we love, to make steel frames.
As a brand we have chosen the face of a character with a curious name
GIOI SPINI MANNAIA, we liked it that way, with a rough and aggressive face that recalls a resemblance to steel and tenacity in trying to continue using this material for the production of frames.
Our decision was made about two years ago
The question I always asked Daniele was; but why don't we try to make frames with our own brand?
Daniele was not very optimistic, but in the end I managed to convince him.
Better if you hadn't done it?
Who knows ?
... .... "finding yourself working on a loom for the little you can do on your own is exceptional.
It absorbs you completely, time no longer exists and you would go on until you see it all over before you and then finally hold it in your hands. "
OUR VISION
In an age where everything seems to change from one day to another in which everything runs after we don't know what.
We want to take a step back and we have decided to use steel as a base product for our frames, a metal that nowadays allows us to achieve truly contained weights and that stimulates touch and
smell while working and seeing when work is finished.
Try to become part of a circle that still loves to produce and pedal certain types of bikes and try to make them understand that sometimes the future is not always in front of us, but can often be found even in the years that have accompanied us up to today.
