Well it's '08 and time to get this blog rolling. We've had it for a year and this is the first post. In the next few weeks we should start to have more solid content. As for now, you can check out some of the blogs or websites that we have listed. They are mostly cycling related friends, racers or those in the industry we look to for guidance. We are excited for '08 as we have worked hard each year to bring something to the table for the industry to look at... this year is no exception.
We moved our manufacturing back to Italy after this years Eurobike. It was a move we wanted to make but wanted to do it slowly. As things turned out at Eurobike, it was time to move and move quickly. That being said, we now partner with Dedaicciai and LaVerMec in Italy and we are now back to our roots. We can now boast well over a 100 collective years of experience in the cycling ranks. We are now a strong manufacturing arm of said companies.
While many in the bicycle manufacturing are still figuring out the composite game, and relying on the Asia market, Veloforma is taking a different route in the industry. We are American owned, but our products will be Italian made, being one of the only US manufacturers to make their bikes in Italy. By the end of '08 we will be manufacturing 100% in Italy. We are extremely excited about the changes we have made, and we look forward in what we are going to bring to the market place.
Our goal in the industry is to be the foremost carbon fiber boutique manufacturer. We plan on doing this with what is possibly the most comprehensive line up of bikes in the industry. Our goal has always been to manufacture a frame in every medium carbon has to offer and do it in a high end product. No middle or low end bikes will come from Veloforma. This is my promise to the consumer.
All the industry marketing hype would have you believe that quality and performance of carbon is dependent solely on high modulus, but that doesn't always mean "better". We will back it up with our very distinctive proprietary process and industry relationships. But no where will that be more applicable than in ride and performance of our bikes. Ride one and we think you'll agree.
Until next time...may the wind always be at your back.
Cheers.
