A Schiavona is a hand crafted sword; a true broad sword that became popular during the Renaissance period in the Veneto area where our frames are manufactured. This was not a ceremonial dress sword, but rather a real fighting sword used by mercenaries and soldiers – a weapon. It was popular because of its beautiful design and functionality, and it was attainable by most men not just the rich. It w
as just as popular among the fighting poor as the wealthy. This reflects our ethos – to make the very best hand-crafted carbon frames more easily affordable to as many riders as possible. Our frames are all made by hand by artisans who have over a century of frame building experience and a huge amount of pride in their own skills and the frames they craft. Each frame is made to order and totally customized to the clients needs, every single one is different. Choose a model, then we'll work with you to get just the paint job you want.
