Fixed Gear Athens in association with master framebuilder Yorgos Vogiatzis (Fidusa Cycles) have been collaborating on a project. The aim was to create a prototype signature frame for FGA’s riders. This is an alu aero type of frame built for speed, handling bumps and obstacles right and be responsive as hell.

So, the waiting is finally over. We have waited a long time ourselves but I think now all of us are starting getting excited about the outcome of our combined efforts.

Four different entities have worked in this frame: Fixed Gear Athens riders, especially Christian, Harris and Agi – framebuilder Yorgos Vogiatzis, the Fidusa workspace and factory in Rhodes and 48×17 Cycles helping out getting the frame to the market.

This frame for us combines Yorgos’ vast experience building race bikes for most of Hellenic National Team’s cyclists, as well as FGA’s fresh look on urban cycling.

For sure this is the first prototype, amendments will be made, but we are really happy with the geometry and the tubing. This is a frame that is going into prodution so we wanted to keep the cost as low as possible. We will be offering the frame with an option of aluminum fork (with cro-mo steerer), or carbon fork (with aluminum steerer) or just a true Fidusa full carbon fork.

There are  protecting blades for the drop-outs, an outrageouly 90s design but in our opinion is at the same time subtle and refined. We will be offering the frame in black/white or white/black.

We will present the frame at the “DESIGN 2011 οικολογία – σύγχρονες τεχνολογίες” exhibition that will open on 15th of December at the Πινακοθήκη Δήμου Αθηναίων on Μεταξουργείο.

So please friends and co-cyclists come and join us!
