Vincenzo Forgione
A Passion That Starts From Afar
Vincenzo Forgione has been passionate about bikes since he was a child. Anyone who knows him personally cannot fail to notice his free and jovial spirit fueled by great passions.
Vincenzo's story begins in childhood, when the passion for cycling took shape thanks to the support of his father and a natural curiosity towards the world of two wheels. From then on, what was a simple attraction turned into a vocation that defined an entire existence.
Pioneer of Off-Road in Irpinia
In the 1980s, Vincenzo distinguished himself in the regional cycling scene by participating in road championships and bringing cycling culture to a land still untouched by this sport.
With the arrival of mountain bikes in Italy, Vincenzo was one of the first pioneers, an early adopter who, without abandoning road biking, began exploring the off-road paths of Irpinia. That’s how everyone in the area started knowing Vincenzo, both for his participation in races and for exploring the most challenging trails.
The Turning Point: 1995
However, it was only with the appearance of the first mountain bikes that the passion definitively exploded. A desire to build a complete bicycle from scratch had been guiding him for years.
His technical studies had already given him the tools to make everything necessary. The moment had come. In 1995 Vincenzo built his first bike frame, one he still uses on his rides today. That first frame marked the beginning of a handcrafted journey that continues to this day.
Shared Experience
You can participate in mountain bike rides with the Forgione Frames group, where cyclists of all levels can discover the Irpinian trails and share their passion for off-road cycling.
You will discover the joy of group rides for all fitness levels: there are no limits, everyone has their own pace, and surely someone will match your rhythm. These moments represent the essence of the Forgione spirit: the bicycle as a means of gathering and discovery.
The Craftsman of the Third Millennium
In an era dominated by industrial production, Vincenzo Forgione represents a rarity: a craftsman who keeps alive the tradition of traditional frame building.
In his workshop in Gesualdo, province of Avellino, every frame is born from over thirty years of passion and meticulous attention to detail that only manual craftsmanship can guarantee.
Contact Vincenzo
Vincenzo Forgione works and produces his frames in Gesualdo (AV) and can be easily contacted through this website.
The Guarantee of a Lifetime
Vincenzo guarantees his frames with a 3-year warranty, but above all, he stands behind them personally. Every Forgione frame carries the most important guarantee: that of a craftsman who personally takes responsibility for his work.
Despite his commitments, Vincenzo prefers to speak directly with anyone who wants to have a handmade steel Forgione frame. Feel free to call Vincenzo at the number listed on the homepage to speak with him personally.
Made-to-Measure Philosophy
For Vincenzo, "custom" does not just mean respecting anatomical proportions. Sometimes needs go beyond simply having the right riding position, including small problems such as postural pains or special physical requirements, or simply personal tastes of the cyclist.
To finally have a bicycle that performs at its best with every pedal stroke, so you can truly feel one with your bike, Vincenzo will be ready to create the geometry best suited to you and your tastes.
That is why owning a Forgione frame is more than just being a customer of Forgione Telai.
