Victoire VELOCE is the name given to the racing - performance road bike program at VICTOIRE CYCLES. This fresh French brand born in 2011 and based in Auvergne, started it s activity by designing and producing rear hub and sprocket for single-speed riders.....but then the activity evolved and now they are doing famous steel frame and complete bikes.
All the frame VICTOIRE are handmade in France with steel tubes mainly from Columbus and Reynolds.
The cyclosport Victoire VELOCE is definitely designed for performance and cherry on the cake, like for all VICTOIRE CYCLES bikes, it is 100% tailored.
4 set of steel tubes are suggested for the VELOCE. The team will designed your bike by using technical characteristics offered by steel tubes from Columbus (Life, Spirit, HSS) or Reynolds (953), and by playing with the length, the diameter and the thickness to provide you reactivity, comfort, rigidity, handling.... The method use to build the bike is by fillet brazing , the advantage is not to overheat the tube so it prevents to loose the original characteristic of the steel.
As a basis, the head-tube is 44mm to set up a tapered or non-tapered fork. The bottom bracket is standard with a BSA but you can go to a BB30 or the new BB47 as an option. As well for the seat-post, it starts on the paper with the comfortable 27,2mm diameter (Integrated seat-clamp), but if you wish or get advise to go for an integrated seat-post, it can be designed.
Many option can be studied : 650b wheels, Disc Brakes Mount, internal cable routing, integrated seat-post or even S&S Coupling system is available on the list : http://www.victoire-cycles.com/fr/cadres/options.html
For the look, there are 6 coloured clear coat available (black, ruby, cobalt, sulfurize, green, copper) but any possibility can be studied as an option.
