Hi all,
The genesis of DeAnima is 3 people - with many years of experience building frames - who got together a few years back to make handmade carbon and steel frames in Italy.
These 3 people are - excluding myself - Gianni Pegoretti who started building frames with his brother Dario many years ago, Antonio who learnt from Gianni, and Matt who has many years of marketing bicycle frames and products.
When DeAnima started it was clear that whatever we made it had to be produced by us, the fruits of our ideas and a reflection of what we believe in. Its also been about keeping traditional Italian skills alive which have in the last 2 decades been largely forgotten. We have a shared idea that it is still possible to do cutting edge design work here in Italy, it does not all have to be mass produced in China. We are using our exclusive tube designs, while continuing the tradition of making made to measure frames in the country.
This video sums us up -

We produce carbon (our preferred material) and steel frames. The carbon tubes are made to our specifications and designs by a composite company near to Venice. For steel tubing, we work closely with Dedaccai who are based in Crema.
As with all custom frames, paint is an important part of our identity and we do this in-house. The paint is influenced from Gianni's love of abstract art which gives the frames a unique personality.
We're really happy to be given this platform to spread the word of DeAnima and feel free to ask us any questions.
