Italian Craftsmanship Meets Steel: Introducing Forgione Telai

Hello everyone,

I’m Vincenzo, the artisan behind Forgione Telai, and I’m thrilled to join this passionate community of frame builders and cycling enthusiasts!

I’ve dedicated my career to crafting custom steel bicycle frames, combining the finest Italian artisanal techniques with modern engineering precision. Each frame is made entirely by hand in my workshop, located in the heart of Italy. My goal? To create bespoke masterpieces that are not only functional but also timeless in their beauty and performance.

Here’s what sets Forgione Telai apart:

  • 100% Handcrafted in Italy: I design and build each frame personally, ensuring unmatched quality and attention to detail.
  • Premium Italian Steel: I use the best materials sourced from local manufacturers to guarantee strength, reliability, and ride comfort.
  • Custom Geometry for Every Rider: Whether you’re chasing speed, adventure, or daily commuting, I tailor every angle and tube length to fit you perfectly.
  • Legacy of European Craftsmanship: Inspired by the great tradition of Italian frame builders, I strive to bring that same passion to every bike I create.

To give you a glimpse of my process, I’ve attached a few photos of one of my latest builds, from the first sparks of welding to the final polished frame.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and feedback! What excites you most about a handcrafted steel frame? What features or details make a frame truly special to you?

Looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing knowledge, and growing this amazing community together.

Cheers from Italy,
Vincenzo

It’s nice to meet you Vincenzo. I look forward to seeing some of your work here.

Wish you and other Italian independent makers well!

We could do with more support to you all instead of $15,000 Colnago and shiny Officina Batta-sth :wink:
