Ex-Pro Cyclists Join Forces to Craft Custom Tours and Custom Bikes

San Francisco, CA, January 25, 2016 --(PR.com)-- BICI ITALIA Partners with Magic Cycle Werks to Craft Custom Handmade Bikes.

Ex-Pro Cyclists Join Forces to Craft Custom Tours and Custom Bikes.

BICI ITALIA Custom Cycling and Cultural Tours will be showcasing a new, custom handmade bike at the North American Handmade Bike Show (NAHBS), February 26-28, at the Sacramento Convention Center.

Mark Studnicki, Chief Cycling Officer and Owner of BICI ITALIA has joined forces with Greg White, Frame Builder and Owner of Magic Cycle Werks. Having met at a cycling event in 2015, both former pro-cyclists found common ground in their passions for cycling in Italy and the fine art of a well-crafted bike made by hand or, in Italian, "Fatta a Mano." Born was the collaboration on the BICI ITALIA PRIMA bike.

BICI ITALIA PRIMA, or "The First," will be debuted at the National Handmade Bike Show with Magic Cycle Werks, Booth 57. The bike build will be documented and shared via social media by both BICI ITALIA and Magic Cycle Werks in an effort to share Mark and Greg’s passion for craftsmanship and attention to detail.

"Being as we met at a vintage cycling event, originally rode on steel frame bikes and both have a deep connection to Italy, this bike will have the look and feel of a vintage bike, but from a structural standpoint, it will be very modern. I admire Greg’s work and am thrilled to be working with him on crafting our first BICI ITALIA Custom bike. Like our cycling tours in Italy, this bike will be fully custom down to the last detail," says Mark Studnicki of BICI ITALIA.

While this bike is being built to Mark’s measurements, Magic Cycle Werks is poised to replicate the BICI ITALIA PRIMA specially for BICI ITALIA clients. The process begins as all Magic Cycle Werks builds - a meeting with the client to determine geometry and other needs, a spec drawing is reviewed then building begins. The BICI ITALIA PRIMA will feature components from Knight Composites and Shimano.
