THE COMPONENT CHOICE OF PRO RIDERS
The Richard Sachs Bicycle is available in two models; the NUOVO RECORD MODEL, set up with what has become the standard choice of successful racers, and the SUPER RECORD MODEL, the result of state of the art cycling technology.

The RICHARD SACHS SIGNATURE FRAMESET is the only frame available from RICHARD SACHS.

ALL SIGNATURE FRAMESETS INCLUDE:
☐ Columbus SL tubing with bioconical seat stays. ☐ Richard Sachs short point racing lugs. ☐ Ornamental reinforcements on rear stay bridges and inside fork crown. ☐ Campagnolo 1010/B dropouts with pantographed bearing faces. ☐ Initial engraved Cinelli MC fork crown. ☐ Cinelli bottom bracket shell, thinned and elaborated. ☐ Campagnolo seat bolt and Super Record headset. ☐ Depressed chainstay and seatstay for optimum freewheel clearance and quick rear wheel changes. ☐ Campagnolo and Cinelli brazed on fittings for gear and brake cables, water bottle cage and double lever assembly.

A critical point in building high quality frames is the attention given to the choice, proper fitting and joining of tubing and lugs. Columbus [cut off]

[Three color photographs of a green frame with light blue cables, showing the head tube and top tube junction, the seat cluster and the rear dropout with a gold freewheel and chain, with two small gray photographs of bare metal lugs and a smaller black and white photograph of lugs and fork blades. The text column lists the Nuovo Record and Super Record models and the contents of the Signature frameset, each item marked with a small empty square.]

A critical point in building high quality frames is the attention given to the choice, proper fitting and joining of tubing and lugs. Columbus SL tubing is used exclusively in conjunction with Richard Sachs Racing Lugs. Every Richard Sachs Racing Lug is inventoried in four angular formats to insure proper fit to every frame geometry. Proper fit of lugs and tubing, joined through low temperature silver brazing, insures maximum frame strength.

VIP bar, stem and saddle set by Cinelli, with Sachs signature pantographics.

[Color photographs of a green frame showing the rear dropout with a gold freewheel and chain and the chainwheel and crank, with small photographs of a rear dropout and a bottom bracket shell, a black and white photograph of lugs, fork blades and small fittings laid out, and a black and white photograph of a drop handlebar, a stem and a saddle on a box marked cinelli.]
