Passoni Titanio - Titanium Race Heritage

Passoni has been making made-to-measure race bikes for a long time. Back in the 80's and 90's professional cyclists would get their bikes made by Mr Passoni and then sprayed in their team colours. Passoni was the first company to try and alchemise the famously recalcitrant grey metal into shapes to preference performance as the primary criteria - beauty was always just functional happenstance.

The Titanio is hand-crafted from custom butted titanium grade 9 (3Al / 2,5V) for the main tubes and titanium grade 5 (6Al / 4V) for head tube, bottom bracket shell and dropouts. and CNC works.

For a select few of our clients there will only ever be one bike company. They will never ride anything else.

What our clients say

  • "I tried the shorter cranks today and I like them - it feels like it's less stress for the back and it seems easier to ride higher cadence. In the end I had a good Tour with no back problems. Thanks for your help!"

  • "Hey Julian and Phil, I hope you are both well. I just completed a 21 hour week on my new 165mm cranks and I am in love. They feel so so great! Thank you for all your help. I’ve never felt so comfortable on my bike before. All the best, Hannah"

    Hannah Barnes

    National Champion / Professional Bike Rider

  • "The personal service from both Phil and Julian is second to none. They have such a wealth of experience in fitting that they can almost tell at a glance if something is just a little off. It felt as though it didn't matter how long it took to get the best position possible - even for an amateur cyclist like myself. Can't recommend them enough."

    Susan

    Cyclist

  • "Very very personalised service. You arrive, they expect you, greet you by first name, have checked your file from past visits and set out very clearly what the process will be, what issues they're looking to address and how and they are happy to take the time to walk you through everything in layman's terms. Almost any professional service entity could learn a lot from how Cyclefit works. "
