Casati Arte

The Casati "Arte" might easily pass for something that it is not. It is in fact a titanium and carbon fiber frame in which all the transitions from one material to the other are seamless with no unevenness. The tubes and rear triangle are carbon fiber joined to titanium lugs. All cable routing is internal.


Each Arte is custom made to measure and includes a fork (full carbon 1 1/8"), seatpost, steam and headset.


Casati is celebrating their 90th anniversary this year and have a special edition frame available.
