Road Cycling UK (roadcyclinguk.com) had a sneak preview of the Gothica CS, this one beautifully complemented by a fully-integrated Di2 build. Artfully designed to tackle all types of riding, the Gothica CS is simply a great ride. For those who think a "race bike" needs to be uncomfortable, the Gothica CS proves otherwise. With our "Cyclosportif" geometry that provides a slightly shorter top tube and taller head tube, the Gothica CS spans the gap between our regular road geometry and the usual geometry changes clients apply for custom frame designs (shorter reach, shallower drop). <a href="http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?productId=15028">See more here.</a> http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=170 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 06:05:53 GMT Press Releases Cyfac showcase in Hong Kong's HIM Magazine http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=169 Another Cyfac highlight in Hong Kong's premier mens' lifestyle magazine, HIM.

Cyclosportif events are the cycling equivalent to a running road race. Unlike categorized racing, with the individual races set for each level of racer, the cyclosportif is a mass-start event where all level of riders compete together on th same course, at the same time. While there are competitions and prizes for specific categories within the event, there are equal numbers of riders simply enjoying the parcours and scenery on-hand. With a wonderful support staff, riders enjoy refueling stops, closed roads, and a pro-level event. This is the 25th Anniversary of this Cyclosportif event, with a new course in the beautiful Massif Central area of France. It's not as well-known as the Alps or Pyrenees but the terrain is fantastic. The organization and people are wonderful and the experience is really first-rate. We'll be sending out details about joining us there later and we welcome all Cyfac riders from France and beyond to a special Cyfac event the day before the race.

Based in the cycling-crazed Sarthe and Vendée regions of France, VERANDA RIDEAU-U builds on the country’s most successful amateur program that carried the French National Championships the past two years. The 2012 team enters the pro arena as a European Continental Team with a mix of veteran pros returning to the top level and neo-pros taking their first shot at the sport’s highest level.   “Our racers are very proud to race on Cyfac and are conscious of the exceptional quality level of the bikes they’ll be using.”, says Johnny Neveu, VERANDA RIDEAU-U team manager.  VERANDA RIDEAU-U riders will race on Cyfac’s custom ABSOLU V2 and GOTHICA framesets for road events and the custom GOTHICA CLM time-trial framesets for races against the clock.  “We have a history of building frames for riders like Laurent Fignon, Frank Vandenbroucke, Claudio Chiappucci and many others. To have our own frames, with our name, and the quality and passion of our artisans and technical staff on display is truly special.”, says Cyfac’s co-owner and director, Aymeric Le Brun.  As recently as 2003, some one-third of the Division One professional peloton raced on frames that were produced by Cyfac but branded under sponsors’ livery. 2012 marks the return of Cyfac-branded bikes for the first time since the Jean Delatour team raced the Tour de France in 2001 on the brand.   “Our argument for craftsmanship, customization, and ride quality will have an exciting arena in which to showcase our products and CPS fitting services.”, says Eric Sakalowsky, co-owner and director of sales and marketing for Cyfac. “All of the team riders have been custom-fit with our new CPS fitting system and we are now producing their frames in time for the pre-season training.”, he continues.  Full details on the team roster and staff will follow.   For additional information, please contact esakalowsky@cyfac-expert.fr or visit www.cyfac.fr.    VERANDA-RIDEAU produces top quality verandas and outdoor enclosures for homes, pools, and other applications.

Conceived to create an optimal union between rider and machine, the Cyfac Postural System is the realization of more than 20 years of detailed positioning analysis done at France's Lyon Center of Sports Medicine. A full decade was spent conducting the R&D for the actual CPS system as we see it today. A team of medical doctors, Ph.d’s, Physiologists, Ergonomists and other technicians independently produced and verified the protocols and research to ensure unbiased and scientifically-sound data, unspoiled by preconceptions of what works on the bike. The Cyfac Postural System has fit more than 25,000 riders since it debuted with dealers. Sylvain Chavanel, Thomas Voeckler, Thor Hushovd, cyclosportifs, and enthusiasts the world over have benefitted from our precise, efficient, and laboratory-tested fitting system. The new French Continental Pro Team, VERANDA RIDEAU-U, will be the first European pro team with ALL riders fit via the CPS. Follow them as they race the 2012 season in Europe and the US. http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=157 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 08:44:52 GMT Press Releases To Fit Yourself - Cyfac in Hong Kong http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=156 Cyfac's fine distribution partner, G.U.M. of Hong Kong, recently launched their beautiful boutique location.

There aren't a slew of middlemen separating our artisan team in France from the cyclists enjoying our creations in Southern California and and around the world. It's this level of connection and intimacy that really sets us apart. We form a real team between our riders and builders. Special thanks to Alison and Steve at Bike Effect (Santa Monica, CA USA) for welcoming Cyfac and for being such great partners.

The show is increasing in its size and scope and interest in authentic, artisan-crafted bicycle frames grows nicely. It's encouraging to meet passionate riders who are more interested in the quality of the frame than the hype of a mass-produced item with more emphasis put on the marketing than the product itself. It's a great sign that there is a return to authenticity, an interest in well-crafted frames, and a desire for riders to stand apart in terms of materials and style. Our tricouleur Absolu with BB30, oversized 1 1/2' x 1 1/8" fork, and dual-tone matte finish caught a lot of eyes. Many passers-by remarked that the quality of the carbon lay-up and the uniformity of finish makes it look like it a came out of a mould. Nope. It's fully custom-crafted tube-to-tube excellence from our builders in La Fuye. And, at a scant 13.9lbs / 6.3kgs it shows that you can have a world-class, durable, beautiful frame without comprimising on quality. Special thanks to Velo News for stopping by to visit and photograph some of our beautiful bikes. http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=129 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 06:16:59 GMT Press Releases Cyfac at NAHBS 2011 http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=118 The North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS) heads to Austin, Texas next week.

The two companies enjoy a historically vibrant relationship and embark upon a new venture to supply Columbus carbon framesets finished by Cyfac. Cyfac will conduct last-step quality control and frame completion as well as paint all of Columbus’ carbon frames in stock and color-option iterations. Columbus chose Cyfac for its extensive frame-building savoir-faire and reputation for quality and authenticity. The Columbus carbon frames carry the storied, SL, SLX, and Genius model names. Each frame is designed in Italy and will feature a “Finished by Cyfac” moniker as a symbol of quality and distinction.
