missive when considering a Tournesol.
Welded steel frame, brazed fork - $2300.
Independent Fabrication builds our TIG-welded steel frames using Tournesol
designs. They do clean, precise work, they're experienced in working with
large tires and fenders, and their paint is immaculate. Welded Tournesol
can be delivered in three to four months.
Lugged steel frame, brazed fork - $2600.
Our favorite lugs for Tournesol are the Rene Singer from Richard Sachs – they
just seem to fit these bikes the best. Most of our lugged frames are brazed
right here at HampCo Seattle by Martin Tweedy, paint is by Russ Pickett. There
is about a year’s wait for a lugged Tournesol but we can give you an
update if you call or email.
Aluminum frame, carbon fork - $1800
