Strada Speciale

Extra large images will open in a new window and may take some time to load
Strada Speciale 1 - Strada Speciale 2 - Strada Speciale 3

This frame is for the rider who likes their frame to be lightened by precisely drilled lugs, but at the same time requires a touch of individuality that other frames can lack.

Designed to soak up the miles, this frame is ideal for Audax or day rides.

All the long point lugs are hand cut with a stylish clover leaf. The Strada Speciale also has the seat stays shot-in to the rear of the seat tube giving a sleek fastback appearance to the frame and an allen key seat lug fitting is included for a neat finish.
