Antonio Mondonico is one of the last of a long line of Italian master frame builders, a science and practiced skill that results in a beautiful and efficient racing machine. The acquisition of this ability does not come easily. It is the result of a lifetime of hard work, building in a part of the world in which the good bike is commonplace and only the great bikes gain recognition. And among the great bikes, none is more revered than a Mondonico.

New for 2009 ~

Mondonico Spirit ~

For the traditional rider who appreciates the great ride of steel!

Handmade in Italy of the finest heat treated steel, Columbus Spirit, drawn to .4mm. Spirit is an extra-fine grain Niobium steel alloy that allows a world class frame builder to build a frame with an excellent resistance/weight ratio and durability similar to titanium. The Mondonico Spirit is joined in the traditional brazed manner with investment cast lugs throughout, a cast bottom bracket shell, and fully forged vertical dropouts. A 52cm frame weighs a mere 3.3 pounds!

Futura Leggero Nemo ~ 

A 3.9 lb cromoly frame of Columbus Nemo 747 Nivacrom and Cyclex cromoly tubing beautifully crafted by a genuine Italian master builder. Lusciously finished in your choice of 12 Dupont Imron colors plus chromed rear dropouts. The tube walls are cold drawn down to only 0.4mm, as thin as virtually any tubing in the world. And the Nivacrom alloy guarantees that very little strength is lost in brazing or welding. Includes Torelli Aspect carbon fork. 

"The ride is EXCEPTIONALLY smooth. I have never ridden a bike - steel, titanium, or aluminum - with such a smooth ride. Any bike rides well on good roads. However, the real proof of a frame and fork is how it rides on rough roads. The Mondonico [Futura Leggero] is exceptional on all road surfaces and a real joy to ride!...Because of your fit my position over the pedals and the transfer of power is much more efficient than on my other pro bikes. I am significantly faster on the Mondonico! Bottom line, I would buy a Mondonico again (and may!). Thanks for all your help." Dave F. from Va, 5/06

56cm Mondonico Airplane ~

This is a brand new Mondonico Airplane frameset personally made by Antonio - never built up.

Mondonico's 2.3 lb Airplane frame is immaculately TIG welded to perfection. Tested for four years in the pro peloton, Columbus Airplane tubing is one of the finest  tubesets ever made - very light, very strong with incredible acceleration, yet supple and secure over rough terrain. The seatstays are Columbus 'Muscle' carbon fiber for extra comfort as well as increased road grip. Includes full carbon Deda Black fork and a truly stunning "Super Decor" finish in dark blue with black and red contrast and white decals, as pictured. Was $3499.99!

Seat tube = 56 cm center to center with 56 top tube and 74^ seat angle

One of Antonio's finest, the Monza Carbon combines the proven ride of Columbus Nemo 747 cromoly tubing with carbon seatstays for even more plushness and road contour in the ride. Especially good for longer miles over technical terrain. Frame weight is just 3.6 lbs. Includes Torelli Aspect carbon fork plus chrome rear dropouts. Color is silver with black decals, as pictured.  

 50cm red Mondonico EL-OS ~

Built entirely from oversized Columbus Nivacrom steel, the EL-OS is both a superior steel frame and a stunning work of art. From the meticulously handbrazed and filed lugwork to the fastback seatstays, the EL-OS represents the pinnacle of old-world Italian craftsmanship. The paint is lustrous Dupont Imron with a deep, rich clearcoat and chrome rear dropouts and right chainstay. With unsurpassed comfort, stability and control, the EL-OS is an excellent choice for riders that won't settle for anything less than the best. Price includes Antonio's handmade Columbus Nivacrom cromoly fork.

This is the last remaining EL-OS frame personally built by Antonio! It was made as a backup bike for legendary New Zealand pro racer, Graeme Miller. But, it was never needed so it's now available as a frameset only. The frame and finish are still mint, just like new. Color is Ferrari red, red with a pinch of orange. Seat tube = 50cm center to center with a 53cm top tube, 75 degree seat angle, and 72 degree head angle. This is a very special frame that will never be available again.
