TSDI Frame Prep™ is an unequalled quality control preparation system that ensures precision set-ups. Every TSDI bicycle and frameset must pass exacting standards in milling, bearing alignment and surface wear. We exclusively use Marchetti-Lange frame and fork alignment tables, which verify alignment tolerances of 0.1 mm upon the machined surfaces of the frame. The TSDI Frame Prep™ process guarantees you are receiving the most efficient, durable and professionally prepared bicycle and frameset in the industry.

Once a frame has completed the Frame Prep™ process it then receives TSDI Frame Paint™. We have developed state-of-the-art painting facilities at both our east and west coast warehouses, creating a durable and spectacular array of paint finishes. Frame Paint™ 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.

TSDI Frame Paint ™ continues with an initial application of DuPont® Red Colar Epoxy Primer, 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. The decals and accenting color to the cutouts are hand detailed. Finally the entire frame and fork, including chrome, receives a clear coat of 500S Imron® . The frame is then baked to a full cure. Every TSDI Frame Paint ™ bicycle is virtually maintenance free and showcases the industry’s finest paint process.
