"The comfort, handling, and reactivity are hallucinatory.  At first you think there'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's really

Cycling Weekly'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. 

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. 

All Cyfac frames are hand-built in our La Fuye, France workshop.  The time, effort, and attention-to-detail distinguishes our framesets.

Know who'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. 

At Cyfac, we focus on the ride.
