CICLO SETTANTENARIO

Casati: tre generazioni di passione per la bicicletta, nata dalla bottega artigianale che fin dal 1920 seguiva i primissimi sportivi monzesi. Una passione che continua oggi, nella realizzazione di biciclette «Purosangue», con caratteristiche calibrate sulle misure, il peso, le esigenze dell’acquirente.

Casati: three generations of love bicycles, born in the handicraftsman’s shop which already in 1920 supported the first sportmen at Monza. A love going on nowadays with the achievement of the «Purosangue» bicycle, whose size and weight fulfill purchaser’s requirements.

Particolare del telaio NIVACHROM della COLUMBUS di nuova concezione.
Tubi a base ellittica maggiorata sul punto di congiunzione del movimento centrale, conicizzati fino a diventare tondi nella parte alta.
Questi tubi, racchiusi in una nuova e studiata squadratura, offrono maggior resistenza antiflessione alle sollecitazioni, guadagnando in leggerezza nella realizzazione del telaio stesso, scrupolosamente e rigorosamente artigianale.

Detail of newly designed COLUMBUS NIVACHROM frame.
Elliptical base tubes, oversized on the conjunction point of the central movement, tapered until they become round at the top part.
These tubes, closed in a newly designed squareness, offer more resistance to stresses and bending, and a lighter frame, whose realization is strictly handicraft.

Piece du cadre NIVACHROM réalisé par COLUMBUS, d’une nouvelle conception.
Tubes de base elliptique, majorée sur le point de jonction du mouvement central; coniques jusqu’à devenir ronds dans leur partie supérieure.
Serrés dans un nouvel équarrissage expressément conçu, ces tubes offrent une plus grande résistance anti-flexion aux sollicitations, ce qui leur confère plus de légerté dans l’exécution du cadre lui-même, qui est scrupuleusement et rigoureusement artisanal.

Die besonderheit des neuartigen Gestells NIVACHROM der COLUMBUS liegt in den Rohren mit elliptisch geformter, an der Verbindungsstelle der Zentralen Bewegung ueberdimensionierten Basis, die sich derart verjuengen, daß sie im oberen Teil rund werden.
Diese Rohre, die sich in einer neuartigen Anordnung befinden, sind gegen Verbiegungen widerstandsfähiger, gewinnen an Leichtheit durch die strenge und sorgfältige handwerkliche Herstellung.
