Agreed, they look like some nice lugged frames. Need to research now.

One of the coolest shops in London. These are great china frames built with Columbus tubing but I don't think it's worth it to import from the UK, something like a Colossi is equally good and cheaper in the US

I'm fairly certain Tokyo Fixed frames are made by Colossi.

am i missing something or is "Gridcity" the only USA colossi dealer they show on their website? Where would you shop for a colossi frameset?

Like Maxway, Colossi mainly produces frames for other companies.

What would be brands sold here in the US that colossi produces?

You'd most likely be better off asking Colossi that question directly.

Had read somewhere that Tokyo Fixed is opening a shop in New York soon.

Am I understanding this right? There is a British company with the name of the capital of Japan in it, selling bike frames from an American company with an Italian sounding name that are built in China?

Colossi isn't an American company.

I'm ddeadserious. I wrote that post with my mind because a bicycle frame manufacturer's website totaled my computer with its gnarly viruses.
