Gaulzetti Cicli

Gaulzetti Cicli

the racing bicycle reborn

Geometry

The design elements of each Gaulzetti are based upon traditional Italian racing geometry with regard to fit and function, but updated for the rigors of modern racing conditions as well as for the ergonomic demands of contemporary components. Gaulzetti Cicli produces a nimble, fast and balanced bicycle. The frames are designed to excel under all potential race conditions, especially technical courses where constant hard cornering and rapid changes in tempo are encountered. Years of experience on the Belgian Kermesse circuit and a history of training and racing on the poor roads of northern Europe and New England influence each detail. The Gaulzetti Cicli geometry may not be ideal for every cyclist, but an athlete seeking a pure race bike need look no further for the ideal bicycle. Sizes highlighted in bold script offer a lower and longer geometric option for clients requiring additional reach or drop.

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.

Frame Features

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

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.

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:

Pearl White with Dark Blue decals

Team Embrocation Blue and Green

Gunmetal Grey with Beige decals

Brown with Pink Decals.
