S&A CYCLING BRANDS
Passoni Cycles (Italy)
Urban-landscape-changing bikes
 In 1972 Mr. Amelio Riva, an engineer fond of cycling, started to build unique titanium frames that were so carefully crafted that a production of only six pieces per year were yielded. In 1985 Mr. Luciano Passoni’s innate passion for cycling and these highly refined cycles enabled the craft spirit to keep on living and inspiring future productions.
Today Passoni production is characterised by titanium frames for more than 70% and by titanium-carbon and carbon- stainless steel frames for about 30%. The companies philosophy is uncompromising creation of the best custom-produced frames and cycles.
Lightweight wheels, Clavicula crankset, and Scapula fork by German company THM, Cinelli stems and curves and Columbus forks all come together to create the Passoni masterpiece. What truly sets Passoni apart is the holistic approach to the man-bicycle system, and the complete customisation of these pieces based on the riders own body features, biomechanics and cycling action. The result is a custom fit, using the finest materials and components, and yielding a bicycle with timelessness, stability and elegance.
Biomega Cycles (Denmark)
Urban-landscape-changing bikes
 Biomega is a revolutionary Danish bicycle company, globally recognised for its ability to create cycles specifically for city riding, and characterised by advanced technology and elegant design.
At Biomega, the creation process is reversed and design drives the geometry and materials. Each bicycle is imbued with a distinctive sense of beauty, innovation, and purpose achieved through Biomega’s passion for aesthetics, technological materials and construction, and
pragmatic usability.
Underpinning every Biomega design is the mandate to revolutionise cities and city-dwellers, "making towns and cities lovelier, beautiful and cleaner places to be." (Jens Martin Skibsted). Biomega’s vision is a world ‘in-sync’ with its natural environment, and its bicycle designs strive to make us happier, healthier and kinder to our environment.
Cinelli Cycle Frames (Italy)
Moving masterpieces that are meant to be ridden.
 The Cinelli head badge - a knight's helmet, red lily and green serpent – has become synonymous with exacting and innovative frames, components and cycles. In 1948, professional racer Cino Cinelli became interested in bicycle technology after mechanical failures in races. He is attributed with giving modern cycling its first aluminium handlebar, its first saddle with a plastic frame, its first footstraps, and its first clipless pedals.
Cinelli went global when Antonio Colombo, a young entrepreneur in the steel tubing industry, added his passion for bicycles and visionary approach to "design made by Cinelli". The bicycle was changed for the better: laser was born, the lugs were abandoned, and TIG welding was introduced to frame builders. With this visionary approach and uncompromising design and performance, Cinelli has become the only Italian bicycle to win a Golden Compass award (1991), and be mentioned in the Dictionary of Italian Design.
