An attempt by Bill Recht at establishing a bicycle building group in the Italian style. They were to be an entry level racing line in conjunction with Confente Bicycles, but Mario Confente rejected the line as being inferior to his frames. The geometry and other details are similar to the Masi and Confente, however their lugs weren't as detailed or finely finished. Available in either a frame only or a complete bicycle, primarily as the Pro Strada model which was equipped with Campagnolo Nuovo Record as well as Super Record in its later year models. Largely underrated by collectors, they do enjoy a following in the vintage bicycle world. Also available in a touring and track (Pista) models, and small rider oriented Pro Minimo frame sizing option as well.
