Our Construction methods. We've got a few: Fillet Brazing and Lugged Frames. All steel of course...
Here's the deal, everything that is done to the latest carbon and aluminium bikes is done to make them ride like steel. For better or worse they got that one right when they started to build these two wheeled human powered vehicles, everybody just needs to get back to their roots.
Fillet Braizing offers buddery smoother joints and a little more flexibility in geometry. In addition the bike will fall apart in 400 years, but don't worry. We'll personally fix your bike at that point when it happens.
Lugged frames offer superb strenth and allow for ligher tubes to be used, in addition they have a beautiful artisan quality to them that can't be matched. It's old school baby...oh yeah.
The only down side of steel is a slight weight penalty, but when you can get really really close to the UCI minimum weight on a road bike and have a beautiful custom steel bike between your legs you just can't beat that. Besides, ride a bit longer, loose a pound yourself and you've more than made up for any weight of the bike.
