Steel. The tradition, the ride, the feel. Yes, steel can be real...Real light, real strong, and real beautiful. Cyfac pairs the new Columbus Niobium Spirit steel with a touch of 21st century frame building skill. While the top, down, and head tubes are in steel, the seat tube, chain stays and seats stays are ColUmbus New Carve full high-modulus carbon fibre with a reverse curve profile. Add in a full-carbon New Carve fork and Stronglight headset and this frame simply oozes class.

Think steel is heavy? Think again. A full bike weight for a medium frame with Campagnolo Record, ITM bars and stem, and Mavic Ksyrium wheels tips the scales at a respectable 17.2 lbs.

If you love the tradition of steel and are searching for a contemporary upgrade, the Panthere is the way to go.
