Perpectives on Zanotti frames?

[lndshrk]

I'm looking to do a custom steel hardtail and wanted to know if anyone had any experience with Zanotti frames either good/bad? No one I know has one, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Great question. I'm glad that someone else has heard of this company. I had a chance to ride one when I was in Sedona and was really impressed with the quality of the build. The build quality was beautiful, I loved the brazed joints and the amazing paint job. The ride was just good... nothing too special, just really good. The bike was made for a specific person, not me. I'm sure the ride would be just as good any other companies' custom built cro-mo frames, but it was built to somebody else's. That's the great thing about custom built bikes, it's made for you... nobody else (maybe).
I'm looking into getting a custom cro-mo disc single speed bike for myself and Zanotti and Vanilla are the two companies that I am interested in getting it done by. I would recommend either one at this point. Both companies do an amazing job at building beautiful bikes and Zanotti would be a great custom bike to own.
Good luck with your choice. Zanotti's are nice.
