Andy and Steve Hampsten
The band, currently:
HampCo Towers: Home of fine bicycle design, assembly, and frame and fork fabrication. Steve does his bit designing and working with customers, Chase wrenches, Martin (ex-Match) brazes, Max (ex-Merlin and Seven, now 333fab) welds steel, XCr, and titanium, and the work gets done. The cats are useless and Quinn-the-wonderdog will be your new best friend.
Steel:
The newest member of our out-sourced little family is Independent Fabrication, a company that we have long admired for their immaculate welding and stunning paint. Great folks these, and working out of Somerville, MA, IF is building many of our light welded steel and stainless steel frames.
Titanium:
Kent Eriksen – founder of Moots and all ‘round good pal – is now making frames under his own name. Kent builds our Strada Bianca and Tournesol titanium frames.
Titanium:
The nice people at Moots Cycles in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, build some of the finest titanium frames in the world – including our Gran Paradiso Titanio.
Aluminum:
Co-Motion Cycles builds and paints our aluminum frames, both Gran Paradiso and Tournesol Leger. Dan, Dwan, and the gang have been building strong and elegant tandems and single bikes since 1988.
Fun and Mojo:
Cinghiale Cycling Tours, Andy’s day job, is where we go to relax and have fun in Italy.
