NAHBS 2014 — Gaulzetti Cicli
so you know!
Good read, Craig. Just so you know, as is probably the case with a lot of your clients, I bought one of your bikes and am considering a second because, in this order: 1) I wanted a great riding bike; and 2) I appreciate and feel at home with the ethic behind your company & design values as expressed (among other places) in your note re: NAHBS.

Anyone have a contact for the guys at GCHQ? I'm having no luck with the info@ address.
Thanks
no response, or are the e-mails bouncing back?

wait for it.....
Just awesome.
"As an homage to the EPOdays of yore- I'd find the world's last remaining pair of 40cm ergonomic drop bars.....i think everyone who ever liked those handlebars in that shape and in that width is either dead of a drug overdose, works in the Schaerbeek mattress factory now and weighs 300 pounds or is Dr. Davey Bruylandts...who for all I know is doing both of those things." - Jerk
Woah. Lets talk about that carbon Omnidrome. Got any pics of that?
Also, you really shouldn't have skimped on the Omnidrome build kits.
its not the new guy, but it is in season. i dig the dimensions on the back end of the ultraline, and im curious about what you decided to do on the front end.
Hi Adriano:
The pictured Ultraline is my bike and I used the dumb 44mm head tube so I could directly compare the ride quality of my steel MAX fork, to my tapered carbon fork, to the Pegoretti Falz fork without building two bikes. I don't think it looks terrible with the steel fork because those blades are pretty robust- but my conclusion for this bike is that the Falz fork and the steel fork best compliment the Ultraline and we're doing 1 1/8th headsets for these things going forward. Great question!

What’s the story on this one Craig?
I posted it in the Gaulzetti re-up thread, looks to be alu but isn’t the Interclub? Was this an experiment too?
Craig at one point I tgink you were talking about friction stir welding. Is that still happening?

Hi Bob:
The Interclub is made out of a 6000 series aluminum while the Corsa was built out of a 7000 series tubeset. The new tubing requires a more complicated heat treatment process but does allow us to bring the weight down a bit and I think it also makes the bike ride even better. I can also offer internal cable routing with the new tubing- and I've changed the shape of the down tube slightly so that the miter/cope angle is better when using a 68mm threaded bottom bracket shell. I also designed a new drop out that I think is much nicer than the old ones we were using. Quick releases can be oriented properly, the hanger is a lot stiffer and identical in shape to the most common Trek hanger, and there is more real estate to weld to which makes the rear end a bit stiffer.
If I were to build you two geometrically identical bikes- but one was a Corsa and one was an Interclub, the latter would be 100-200 grams lighter and a touch more torsionally rigid. I'm also using my own fork now- which makes the bike feel alot more planted when you're driving hard into a corner compared to the Enve I was using before. I think it does a better job at handling hitting a cobblestone at race speed too.
The Interclub is an evolution of the Corsa but enough changed that I felt it warranted a new model name.
