Tubing

Tubing has been specified to provide exceptional torsional rigidity particularly along the top tube. Our proprietary 7003 aluminum tubeset was designed by Gaulzetti Cicli and is produced to our specifications by Dedacciai in Cremona, Italy. Each tube is hand selected to provide the proper performance characteristics for the client athlete.

Integrated Seat Mast

An integrated seat mast is employed to allow a more direct connection between the rider and the bicycle especially during hard seated cornering where a rider puts extra force into the seat tube and seat post assembly.

BB30 Bottom Bracket Shell

An oversized BB30 bottom bracket is specified and offers more area to TIG weld, thus rendering the bottom bracket area more rigid. It also allows for a wider selection of crank options, a potentially narrower “Q” factor and the use of larger roller bearings with reduced friction when compared to a traditional bottom bracket.

Head Tube

Gaulzetti Cicli eschews the use of integrated headsets to allow for easier maintenance and greater variety of headset options.

Construction

Each frame is hand built in the United States. The method of construction employed is TIG welding. Frames are back purged with Argon to prevent oxidation, swelling and any scaling of the tubes. Following construction, each frame is heat treated before being sent to paint.

Paint

All Gaulzetti framesets are hand painted in Watsonville, California by award winning artist Joe Vasquez. Mr. Vasquez mixes custom colors and creates decals and masks for each individual frameset. Several custom liveries are available, including:

Team Embrocation Replica

Pearl White and Dark Blue

Gunmetal Grey and White

Brown and Pink

Fork

Gaulzetti frames are complemented with a unique fork which employs high-modulus carbon for the construction of the legs and crown. Due to the mechanical nature of the interface between the steerer tube, the stem and the headset on a modern racing bicycle; Gaulzetti Cicli employs a lightweight chromoly steerer tube on the fork. This construction technique allows the fork to exceed all European Safety Standards, exhibit exceptional rigidity and allows for the use of a standard star-fangled nut for headset adjustment.
