            <title>Cyfac on Road Cycling UK</title>
            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=170</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;Cyfac&#39;s UK partner, VELO BRANDS UK, recently attended the London Cycle Show, displaying an impressive line-up of the Cyfac brand.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;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 &#38;quot;race bike&#38;quot; needs to be uncomfortable, the Gothica CS proves otherwise.  With our &#38;quot;Cyclosportif&#38;quot; 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).&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;Cyfac&#39;s flagship Absolu V2 and custom steel Spirit show the unique capabilities of our La Fuye, France atelier.  Mastering the cutting-edge composite carbon-kevler construction (a construction process unique to Cyfac) as well as filet-brazed steel shows the spectrum of our skillset.  In addition to the build quality, Cyfac offers some of the most stylish and certainly most varied paint options available in the bicycle business.&#60;/p&#62;</description>

            <title>La Cyclo Les Copains - CYFAC</title>
            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=161</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62; La Cyclo Les Copains - CYFAC is one of the top cyclosportif events in France.  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.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
This is the 25th Anniversary of this Cyclosportif event, with a new course in the beautiful Massif Central area of France. It&#39;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.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;We&#39;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.  For additional information, &#60;a href="mailto:esakalowsky@cyfac-expert.fr?subject=Cyclo%20Les%20Copains%20-%20Cyfac%202012&#38;amp;body=I&#39;m%20interested%20in%20getting%20more%20information%20about%20this%20event."&#62;please contact us.&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;</description>

            <title>Cyfac Returns to the Pro Peloton!</title>
            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=158</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;CYFAC proudly announces their return to the pro cycling peloton with the new Continental Pro Team, VERANDA RIDEAU-U. &#60;/strong&#62; Based in the cycling-crazed Sarthe and Vend&#38;eacute;e regions of France, VERANDA RIDEAU-U builds on the country&#38;rsquo;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&#38;rsquo;s highest level.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#38;ldquo;Our racers are very proud to race on Cyfac and are conscious of the exceptional quality level of the bikes they&#38;rsquo;ll be using.&#38;rdquo;, &#60;/em&#62;says Johnny Neveu, VERANDA RIDEAU-U team manager. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;VERANDA RIDEAU-U riders will race on Cyfac&#38;rsquo;s custom ABSOLU V2 and GOTHICA framesets for road events and the custom GOTHICA CLM time-trial framesets for races against the clock.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;em&#62; &#38;ldquo;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.&#38;rdquo;&#60;/em&#62;, says Cyfac&#38;rsquo;s co-owner and director, Aymeric Le Brun. &#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
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&#38;rsquo; 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.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;  &#38;ldquo;Our argument for craftsmanship, customization, and ride quality will have an exciting arena in which to showcase our products and CPS fitting services.&#38;rdquo;,&#60;/em&#62; says Eric Sakalowsky, co-owner and director of sales and marketing for Cyfac.  &#60;em&#62;&#38;ldquo;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.&#38;rdquo;&#60;/em&#62;, he continues.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62; Full details on the team roster and staff will follow.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;For additional information, please contact esakalowsky@cyfac-expert.fr or visit www.cyfac.fr.    &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#60;strong&#62;VERANDA-RIDEAU&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/em&#62; &#60;em&#62;produces top quality verandas and outdoor enclosures for homes, pools, and other applications.  They are located in the Vend&#38;eacute;e Region of France and offer high-tech, quality design and production.  www.verandarideau.com  &#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;&#60;em&#62;U&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;em&#62; is a chain of supermarkets made famous by the sponsorship of Laurent Fignon&#38;rsquo;s mythical Systeme-U and Super-U teams of the 1980&#38;rsquo;s and 1990&#38;rsquo;s.  The U brand is known for quality, selection, and team-work.  www.magasins-u.com&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

            <title>New CPS Coming Soon!</title>
            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=157</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;The new Cyfac Postural Fit System tool arrives Jan 2012!&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;span class="s1"&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
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&#39;s Lyon Center of Sports Medicine. A full decade was spent conducting the R&#38;amp;D for the actual CPS system as we see it today. A team of medical doctors, Ph.d&#38;rsquo;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 &#60;i&#62;works &#60;/i&#62;on the bike. &#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
&#60;p class="p1"&#62;
&#60;p class="p1"&#62;&#60;span class="s1"&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p class="p1"&#62;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.&#60;/p&#62;

            <description>&#60;p&#62;Our carbon production process is much more complicated than throwing materials into a mould in someone else&#39;s factory.  This blog post shows an Absolu frameset show all of the stages of our framebuilding process on one frame.  An Absolu takes between 30 and 35 hours to build and finish.  What sort of time and investment goes into a mass-produced frame?&#60;/p&#62;

            <title>Cyfac Launches in Hong Kong Market</title>
            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=141</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;Our Loire Valley workshop recently welcomed new Hong Kong  distributor, G.U.M, and a journalist for the Mainland Chinese and Hong  Kong markets.  Cyfac&#39;s countryside home provided a warm welcome with  ample opportunities to visit the factory, interact with our team, and  even sample the riding with Cyfac&#39;s own former pro rider, Fabian  Patanchon, who spent time with Caisse d&#39;Epargne and Francaise des Jeux  and who is now studying for a degree in composite engineering.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Part of our story is that we are open and transparent.  Anyone can  come and visit us, see our frames in construction, and meet our team.   This is a big difference from the big brands who, typically, aren&#39;t even  producing their own products.  &#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
We loook forward to sharing our  passion, savoir-faire, and beautiful products with dedicated cyclists in  Hong Kong and the rest of Asia.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Contact G.U.M. via &#60;a href="http://www.gum.hk"&#62;www.gum.hk&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;</description>

            <description>&#60;p&#62;Cyfac is turning the Asian-sourced production approach around, taking our small quantity, bespoke frameset creations and exporting them to the markets in Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea,Taiwan, and beyond.  At the recent Taipei International Cycle Show, Cyfac presented its line of custom and personalized framesets built in the Loire Valley workshop atelier and ready to go to new homes among passionate cyclists in the Asian markets.  Cyclingtimes.com treated us to an in-depth conversation and review about what we do and why.&#60;/p&#62;</description>

            <description>&#60;p&#62;We always enjoy the chance to meet with current and future Cyfac customers.  There aren&#39;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&#39;s this level of connection and intimacy that really sets us apart.  We form a real team between our riders and builders.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Special thanks to Alison and Steve at Bike Effect (Santa Monica, CA USA) for welcoming Cyfac and for being such great partners.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And, a big &#60;em&#62;merci&#60;/em&#62; to Patrick Brady of Red Kite Prayer for the chance to meet and talk about Cyfac.&#60;/p&#62;

            <description>&#60;p&#62;The North American Handmade Bicycle Show was a great opportunity to showcase Cyfac to the passionate riders of Texas and beyond.  The show is increasing in its size and scope and interest in authentic, artisan-crafted bicycle frames grows nicely.  It&#39;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&#39;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.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Our tricouleur Absolu with BB30, oversized 1 1/2&#39; x 1 1/8&#38;quot; 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&#39;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.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Special thanks to Velo News for stopping by to visit and photograph some of our beautiful bikes.&#60;/p&#62;</description>

            <description>&#60;p&#62;After walking around our workshop today, a quick shot of this beautiful detail could&#39;t be missed.  This Infini Carbone features Absolu S2 paint and those extra little details to set it apart from the crowd.  This is all stencil work - there are no decals or stickers, just paint.  A beauty for a customer in Israel!&#60;/p&#62;</description>

            <title>Cyfac Partners with Columbus</title>
            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=96</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;Cyfac International proudly announces the launch of a new partnership with renowned tubing supplier, Columbus (Gruppo Spa) of Italy.  Columbus has supplied Cyfac with various frame tubing and raw materials for nearly 30 years while Cyfac has collaborated extensively on tubing design and frame prototypes with the iconic brand.  The two companies enjoy a historically vibrant relationship and embark upon a new venture to supply Columbus carbon framesets finished by Cyfac.  &#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
Cyfac will conduct last-step quality control and frame completion as well as paint all of Columbus&#38;rsquo; 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 &#38;ldquo;Finished by Cyfac&#38;rdquo; moniker as a symbol of quality and distinction.  The frame offering will not compete with Cyfac&#38;rsquo;s own product line and Cyfac dealers have the opportunity to offer the two lines together.  Cyfac will distribute the frames in the French market with select international markets likely to follow.    Cyfac is currently accepting orders for delivery in early Spring 2011.&#60;/p&#62;

            <title>Cyfac Postural System - Belgian Press</title>
            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=82</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;LA DH LES SPORTS MAG profiled the Cyfac Postural System in its latest printing.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It&#39;s all in French so for our English-only speakers we&#39;ll just let you know that this is a detailed piece on how the CPS treats the individual cyclist and develops a position that favor overall cycling health and performance.  Cyfac&#39;s Belgian distributor, headed by Pascal Vandenbergh, serves one of the most passionate and dedicated cycling markets and delivers the CPS to those who need comfort and performance on the Belgian &#38;quot;Bergs&#38;quot;, cobbles, and windswept plains. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;&#38;quot;The ideal riding position is an intelligent balance between comfort and performance&#38;quot;,&#60;/strong&#62; the article says. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;For the latest CPS news and info, stay tuned.  The CPS II will enter the market in late 2010!&#60;/p&#62;</description>

            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=79</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;The upcoming October 2010 issue of BICYCLING Magazine features the Cyfac Gothica CS on its cover.  Inside, a 2-page review highlights the build quality, design, production, and finish aspects that set the Gothica CS apart from the crowd.  Entitled &#38;quot;French Flyer&#38;quot;, the review lends high praise.  Bicycling Magazine is the world&#39;s largest cycling publication.  A cover shot is &#60;em&#62;fantastique!&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;&#38;quot;If the Gothica CS were a car, it would be a Grand Touring edition -- luxe, gorgeous, and entirely capable of leaving some rubber on the road.&#38;quot;  &#60;/strong&#62;Joe Lindsey, Bicycling.&#60;/p&#62;

            <title>Gothica CS Review</title>
            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=78</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;Cyfac dealer, Studio Velo, of Mill Valley, California hosted an exciting month of riding at a Spanish villa near the French border.  Not only were the Studio Velo customers treated to some fantastic food, great accommodations, and amazing riding, they also enjoyed the exclusive use of a fleet of Cyfac demo bikes.  Comprised of Absolu, Gothica CS, and Cadence models, the Cyfac fleet gives customers a chance to enjoy the Cyfac ride quality, finish beauty, and allure for themselves.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Studio Velo&#39;s customer (and new Cyfac owner), Chas, took delivery of his very own Cyfac at the Spanish event.  Ordered earlier in the spring, Chas&#39; new Gothica CS was built at our Loire Valley workshop and sent across the border for him to enjoy in the Spanish hills.  Read his report &#60;a href="http://blog.studiovelomv.com/2010/07/gear-road-tested-cyfac-gothica-cs.html"&#62;here!&#60;/a&#62;  Bonne route, Chas!&#60;/p&#62;</description>

            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=73</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;Robert B.  New Hampshire, Commenting on his Cyfac Nerv DS2.  I am really enjoying the bike. It has inspired me to ride more often, longer etc. It gets great looks from other riders and is quick and responsive. I get out of the saddle more then I did in prior riding seasons.  I not sure if that&#39;s good or not, but its fun getting a quick jump.  &#60;br /&#62;
It has a smooth and firm ride too and I like it better than past steel frame and as well as my ti bike. You feel the road but in a good way; it doesn&#39;t beat you up.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
Balance is unbelievable. It has been long time since I felt comfortable to lift my hands off the bars and take the water bottle out of the cage while pedaling.  &#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
It has been a pleasure working with your company.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
Simply amazing!&#38;rdquo;&#60;br /&#62;

            <title>CYFAC&#174; acquires CATIA PLM Express to Reinforce High-end Status</title>
            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=67</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Hommes, France June 1st, 2010&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
Cyfac&#38;reg; International, builder of custom bicycle frames for more than 25 years, proudly announces the signing of an ambitious contract with Keonys&#38;reg;, Europe&#38;rsquo;s number one reseller of Dassault Syst&#38;egrave;mes Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) products, most notably the CATIA PLM Express solution.  &#38;laquo;Using CATIA PLM Express to model future projects will not only enable us to completely optimize the technical and mechanical characteristics of our new frames right from the very first digital drafts, but will also allow us to anticipate all requirements from the production side in keeping with our unique manufacturing methods. We will be able to build a truly collaborative engineering process with our different partners, whether they are machinists, composite tube manufacturers, or graphic designers &#38;raquo; states Aymeric Le Brun, managing director of Cyfac International.  &#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#38;laquo; We are entering a new phase in the production of custom high-performance frames that will satisfy our clients&#38;rsquo; needs and desires whether they are professional partners or individual riders.  Additionally, the int&#38;eacute;gration of Fabien Deweerdt, an Arts &#38;amp; M&#38;eacute;tiers engineer, to the Cyfac International team enables our brand to continue the in-house development of high-tech frames using the latest technologies and via a configuration that is adapted to our special manufacturing requirements.   I&#38;rsquo;d really like to thank Keonys for their partnership in laying the groundwork for this project &#38;raquo;, continues Mr. Le Brun.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#38;laquo; Cyfac once again shifts gear. CATIA PLM Express is specifically designed for small and mid-sized companies : affordable, easy-to-use, and flexible this solution allows our clients to accelerate the development and completion of their projects and their products, to reduce deployment delays, and to improve their return on investment. &#38;raquo; adds Bruno Puechoultres, Vice President of  Keonys. &#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
The first fruits of this acquisition will reach the market starting in 2011.  Cyfac bicycles and anthropometric tools for the Cyfac Postural System&#38;reg; developed via these solutions, will feature the Keonys and Dassault Syst&#38;egrave;mes logos. &#60;br /&#62;

            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=63</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;The inimitable pezcyclingnews.com, presents a detailed and in-depth look at Cyfac, the making of our frames, and the experience from getting a CPS fit to color selection.  A finely custom-crafted Absolu awaits!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#38;quot;Possibly the best description I have after meeting the folks at Cyfac is &#38;quot;calm&#38;quot;. Rather than the go go marketing , heavy hype and pressure for growth and the suggestion of the next big thing, Cyfac seem to be far more concerned with long term satisfaction for both their customers and the people that make up the company.&#38;quot;&#60;/p&#62;

            <title>Absolutely Belgium</title>
            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=60</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;Belgian rider, St&#38;eacute;phane Vanden Bergh, recently received his new custom ABSOLU frameset from Cyfac.  &#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#38;quot;The comfort, handling, and reactivity are hallucinatory.  At first you think there&#39;s a little motor added into the intergrated seat post.  This bike just makes your legs turn.  Nothing gets lost, everything is in control, and I savor it all.  No climb scares me because when the road goes up, this bike does too...It&#39;s really magic.&#38;quot; &#60;/p&#62;

            <description>&#60;p&#62;Cycling Weekly&#39;s, Simon Smythe, visited the Cyfac booth during the Handmade Bicycle Show in Richmond, Virginia.  On-hand was our showpiece 13lb Custom Absolu rig, outfitted with some luxurious bike-xotica.  Built-to-last and crafted in our inimitable fashion, this Absolu is a subtle yet powerful statement of our quality and finish excellence. &#60;/p&#62;</description>

            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=52</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;We take special pride in keeping all design, production, and finish work in-house.  While much of what happens to construct a frame is hidden under the finished product, it is that finished product that truly showcases all of the time, attention-to-detail, and quality craftsmanship that Cyfac offers.  This quick youtube video of Cyfac painting provides a nice look at all that happens to make a beautiful finished Cyfac frame.  &#60;/p&#62;</description>

            <link>http://www.cyfac.fr/Pages/News/Index.aspx?NewsId=50</link>
            <description>&#60;p&#62;All Cyfac frames are hand-built in our La Fuye, France workshop.  The time, effort, and attention-to-detail distinguishes our framesets.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Know who&#39;s building your frame.  Know their skill, training, dedication, and passion.  Each Cyfac frame embodies this and we encourage you to ride the difference.  Our Fixie frame provided a blank canvas upon which our entire artisan team marked their autograph.  &#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
At Cyfac, we focus on the ride.&#60;/p&#62;</description>

&#60;p&#62;&#38;quot;They are a class outfit. I recommend them highly.&#38;quot;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62; &#60;em&#62;&#38;quot;The Absolu&#39;s lines are very distinct and individual.&#38;quot;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#38;quot;I reached a corner - WOW!  I found myself flying into -- and more markedly -- out of bends.&#38;quot;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
