new project mécacycle – sneak preview

Filed under: projects

frame: mécacycle turbo

info mécacycle:

The firm based in St Etienne, near the Massif Central in central France was formed in the early 80s by Raymond Creuset.
It lasted under various owners until the late 80s early 90s.
Although the compay made a wide range of lightweight frames it is always best remembered for its TURBO model ie the one with the double seat-tube configuration and short wheel base.

The Turbo range was very popular in France, in the 80s, as were twin seat tubed frames in general, with examples being made by GELIANO, CACEG, and AMR, and Motobecane.
Surprisingly the cyclo-cross version was particularly popular due to the fact that the mud and crud did not lodge between the tyre and the rear of the seat tube…a very free-running design.
In spite of looking quite fragile, very few Turbos appear to have broken. The manufacturer claimed that the twin-tubed structure conferred a greater rigidity to the frame.

rauler:
Created at the end of ‘70 by Raul and Reclus Gozzi Bros., the first one known for its specialization in pantography and elettrophoresis and the second specialized in autogenous welding in the specific field of pipages in thin extra special steel, the firm has then specialized in the bicycles chassis assemblage for sport and race use, with RAULER mark.

One or both brothers worked for Colnago before starting up the Rauler marquee. It is unsure just what the relationship with Ernesto was, but what is known that the name Rauler is from Raul and the first two letters of Ernesto, hence Rauler. Rauler became one of the top contract builders for Colnago and did much of the pantographing for them as well.

The company was born and it is still a handicraft level firm, very well known also in foreign countries, with a lot of important European customers. It has had the chance to supply racing bicycles to some amateur teams as ” SMEG ” and ” GIACOBAZZI “, this last has made a name for itself with runners that subsequently have been absorbed from professional teams. Between the many victories achieved, deserves mention the 100 km. to the Olympic Games of Los Angeles (USA) in year 1984.”
