The head tube is hand reamed and once final inspection is complete the frame moves into our ceramic paint or polishing process where we offer some 400 color combinations and premium design concepts to choose from-virtually whatever you can imagine! Heat treated to T6 specifications and artificially aged in ovens to insure performance longevity, we then finish each frame by returning it into the mill where the interior BB shell is finally machined to insure perfectly concentric and aligned bearing bores. No gussets are required on the Daylight ARC c1. Welding is completed on a proprietary three dimensional jig or fixture that allows us to lay down beautiful, uninterrupted welds around every major frame junction. This is a painstakingly slow and arduous process, even for our craftsmen builders whose experience amounts to a staggering 50,000+ hand built bicycle frames. Our premium and proprietary aluminum tube set is hydro-formed, with tube walls that are internally tapered and multi-butted to create the lightest, stiffest, and strongest framework for your Daylight.Įach tube is hand-coped or cut to our precise pattern so they can be joined together with virtually no gap between parts.
