Sarto Antonio | Custom Geometry Just as a tailor would measure his client up for their clothes we will need to take some of your measurements to enable us to design your frame. When visiting us at Northern Ride we will take your measurements and discuss your current and future cycling aspirations. Sarto have over 50 years’ experience of building custom geometry frames. We also have experience in completing the process at a distance with our international customers, contact us for more details. Once we have your key measurements and some other simple data we will supply you with your own custom, scale frame design. Once this is approved the average time required to build your frame is 6 to 8 weeks. Painting your frame then takes from one to four weeks depending on the complexity of your design. Custom geometry is supplied at no additional cost. Please note Sarto are an artisan company and timescales can vary. Geometry Design: Three design proposals are included in the RRP with any additional proposals/revisions charged at £50. Reinforcements and modifications: Sarto optimise the structure of each custom frame as they deem necessary.

The Process
Personalization is Sarto's strength, which allows us to satisfy the customer’s every need: the choice of materials, the shape of the tubes, made-to-measure geometries, graphics and reinforcements in Kevlar or titanium/carbon. Every feature of a Sarto frame can be changed and selected by the customer. Each year we design and create new models, which are presented at the most important trade fair before making their way around the world. Perfection is a gift acquired through experience, every year we renew our selection of frames by researching and studying improvements to apply to new products. Sarto dedicate months of our time to research and experimentation, creating new products and testing them first on the computer and then letting our team test them on the road, to always ensure the highest performance and yield. Sarto believe in the services we offer, we believe in the product made entirely in Italy with our own hands. Thanks to this combination of factors, we are positioned in an exclusive market segment, allowing our flag to outshine over other nations, without fear of competition. Sarto products are available in made-to-measure sizes with custom tubes or materials best suited to meet the needs of athletes. All of these advantages make the frame unique in every sense.
Carbon Fiber
Carbon, as we see it, is used in many industries mainly for applications subject to extreme conditions, from boats to aircraft, from buildings to sporting equipment, from the biomedical to the engineering fields. The company has been working with carbon for more than 15 years, from the time when frames were glued together at the joints. Starting in 2002, the company began producing laminated frames, a process that originated from the need to “customize” and make every piece unique. The company is equipped with 4 kilns, 1 clean room (a temperature-controlled aseptic area used for laminating), 2 pressurized cabins for filing and painting processes and a massive dust extraction system, all designed to ensure the safety and health of the specialized staff.
