" A lifetime frame, one you could live with forever " Bicyclist Magazine.

"The El Diente delivers a stable, smooth ride. It is noticeably stiffer than my Tuscany(up front and in the rear/bottom bracket), yet still is not jarring or uncomfortable. That is why I like ti. The oversized chain stays and 1.75" downtube really make a difference. The sizing is spot-on - The biggest difference between the El Diente and my Tuscany(besides stiffness) is the handling. The El Diente is so responsive and quick - Anyway, great bike - Thanks again for all your help, and for building a great bike." - Gary

I had my Dean delivered to me whilst I was on cycling tours in the US in early August 2008.
Just wanted to say thanks for the fantastic custom dimension Ti El Diente coupler frame you guys made for me - it handled the tour of Oregon and Washington superbly. Smooth riding, great handling and superb build quality - I am wrapped! Best bike purchase I ever made. It drew many admiring looks and queries from people, and comparing it to two Merlin and two Moots titanium bikes also on the tour saw it absolutely on terms regarding build quality (with a large cost benefit!) The bike is back at home with me in Perth, Western Australia now and I ride it constantly. It's a keeper, and I look forward to doing many more tours on it.- cheers! Leonard

" What an awesome ride - clearly the best bike I've ever had " Joe C.

I've had my Diente for three years now and wanted to shoot you a quick email letting you know how much I enjoy it. I've ridden carbon, aluminum, steel and my DEAN Titanium is the absolute best. Thanks for the great bike. Thomas Z.
