TSDI FRAME PREP™
At Ten Speed Drive Imports®, we’re proud to have developed FRAME PREP™, the most comprehensive quality control preparation system available. Our systematic prepping process guarantees precision set-ups. Every bicycle frame we sell must pass a rigorous criterion including standards in milling, bearing alignment and surface wear.

FRAME PREP™ calibrations ensure precision balance and maximum response from every bicycle. We exclusively use Marchetti-Lange frame and fork alignment tables, certifying alignment tolerances of .01mm upon the machined surfaces of the frame. The TSDI FRAME PREP™ process is the ultimate commitment to superior quality craftsmanship.

TSDI FRAME PAINT™
Ten Speed Drive Imports’® commitment to excellence is realized through our revolutionary FRAME PAINT™ process. As distributors of the finest bicycles in the world, we have developed state of the art painting facilities and procedures at both our East and West Coast facilities, creating a spectacular array of paint finishes guaranteed to stand the tests of time and the elements. Every frame prior to painting must pass through our rigorous FRAME PAINT™ process.

Our highly detailed FRAME PAINT™ process begins by degreasing, deburring and brazing shut all the builder’s vent holes. The frame is then bead blasted with glass beads to clean and stress relieve the surface of the tubing. DuPont’s® Red Colar Epoxy Primer is initially applied and followed by a thorough sanding to achieve a smooth uniform finish. The frame is then color coated with DuPont Imron®, a two part polyurethane paint. Hand detailing of the decals and the accenting color to the cutouts is contiguous.

A final step, involving the entire frame and fork (including chrome), is a clear coat of 500 S Imron® Clear. The frame is then baked to a full cure. Every TSDI FRAME PAINT™ bicycle is virtually maintenance free and showcases the industries finest paint process.
