Please read this missive when considering a Tournesol.

Welded steel frame, brazed fork - $2100.. Independent Fabrication builds our TIG-welded steel frames using Tournesol designs. They do clean, precise work, they're experienced in working with large tires and fenders, and their paint is the level to which others aspire. Welded Tournesol can be delivered in three to four months.

Lugged steel frame, brazed fork - $2400. Our favorite lugs are those from Richard Sachs or our own hand-carved Pacenti version. Most of our lugged frames are brazed right here at HampCo Towers in Seattle by Martin Tweedy. There is about a year’s wait for a lugged Tournesol but we can give you an update if you call or email.

Titanium frame, steel or carbon fork - $3400. Kent Eriksen builds the Tournesol ti frames to our specifications; he does great work and the welding is some of the best in the industry. Allow two or three months for a Kent frame.
