Front Lugs

THE MAIN FEATURE OF THE FRAME.

The hallmark of the frame is the lug embellished with an arabesque pattern. This exquisite feature has caused cycling experts to consider it to be a priceless gem of Italian manufacturing. This ornamental trait elevates this frame and gives it the status of a true work of art in the cycling world.

THE WINNING CHOICE

It is remembered as being a watershed in cycling history as the traditional round tube was replaced by a polygonal shape.
