Workshop services

Besides building custom frames, in my workshop in Gesualdo I repair, modify and build up bicycles. I carry out every job personally.

Repairs

Steel frame repair, old and new

A steel frame always deserves a second chance. If it has been damaged, cracked or deformed, I can repair it and bring it back to its original safety and performance.

Send me a few well-lit photos of the damage.
Tell me the frame brand and how it is used.
You will receive an assessment and a no-obligation quote.

All services

Repairs, modifications, design of special frames and assembly of the complete bike.

Modifications and functional adaptations of steel frames

A steel frame is not a static object. Thanks to its structural properties, it can be repaired, modified and adapted to meet new needs. Besides repairs, I offer a dedicated service for those who want to extend or update their frame's functionality, while keeping its quality, safety and technical consistency.

When a modification makes sense

Modifying a steel frame can be a sensible choice when:

you want to adapt the frame to components that are more common or perform better today;
the way you use the bike has changed over time (touring, off-road, loads, new wheels);
you want to extend the life of a quality frame;
you are looking for a technical solution that is not available on the market.

Every job is assessed case by case, paying attention to the geometry, the structural loads and the overall balance of the design.

Case study: from 27.5" to 29" wheels

In this specific job, the customer wanted to use a 29" wheel on a frame originally designed for 27.5" wheels. To make this conversion correctly and safely, it was necessary to work on the rear dropouts.

The job required:

analysis of the original frame geometry;
assessment of the space available for the tyre and drivetrain;
removal of the original dropouts;
making and fitting new dropouts compatible with a 29" wheel.

The stages of the work

Below are some photos documenting the main stages of the job, from the original configuration to the finished modification.

Brazing the dropouts — Brazing and alignment check

Brazing new dropouts onto an old steel frame — Frame modified and ready to use

Videos of the job

To better understand the work, the job is also documented in two videos (in Italian):

Explanation of the job

In this video I explain the technical reasons for the modification, the design choices and the checks made before starting the work.

Brazing the new dropouts

In this second video you can see the brazing of the new dropouts and the manual work in the workshop.

A service for those who want to go beyond the standard

Structural and functional modifications are designed for cyclists and enthusiasts who want to try unconventional technical solutions or adapt an existing frame to new needs. My role is to guide this process with craft skill, building experience and attention to safety.

Ask for an assessment Message me on WhatsApp

Every modification is assessed individually, based on the frame, its intended use and the customer’s goals.

I build custom frames designed specifically for each athlete, using the Silver Fillet Brazed technique, which ensures both aesthetic beauty and functional performance.

Tests have shown that my frames withstand all types of stress. The spirit of steel frames embodies my construction philosophy: crafting unique pieces built to last over time.
