An Italian bicycle legend with a home office in Canada, this is one of the strangest cross culture products in the cycling, or design communities. Originally founded in the 1920s by Tullio Cramerotti, the company passed through the family and finally rested with Guiseppe Cramerotti, a resident of Vancouver. The bikes are conceived and designed in Canada but their full range is still completely hand-built and painted in Veneto, Italy. This position makes complete sense given the strong cycling lifestyle in the province, and notable record of cycling successes from pioneering mountain bike design to top level cyclists.
