Does anyone have any information on artistic cycle frames? From what little info i've been able to gather, what makes an artistic frame is the 0-degree stem, the 1 : 1 gear ratio, a more compact overall geometry, flipped drop bars, and pegs. I'd like to know what companies built these frames, and their proper components.
Also i'm a first time poster and new to this mailing list. The e-list rules page said that it's encouraged to provide a brief profile so here it is: My name is John Picard, I live in Missoula Montana, U.S. and I'm a mechanic at Free Cycles, which is the largest bike collective in the state. Bikes I own are a Battaglin World Champion 87', a 66 Bottecchia, and a Raphael Geminani which I will be posting pictures of soon.
Glad to be a part of your group!
