Description
Crafted by the artisanal builder D. PIATON, this classic bicycle chassis represents the pinnacle of French lightweight steel design from the golden era of cycling. Built using premium VITUS 181 double-butted steel tubes, this frame offers an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio (total weight of 2665g including the matching fork), translating to a highly responsive and comfortable ride over long distances.
Artisanal Framebuilding Meets Vitus Metallurgy
Unlike mass-produced frames, this D. PIATON frame displays clean hand-finished brazing and a thoughtful geometry suited for classic road races or premium vintage setups. The frame is finished in a subtle black paint, preserving its authentic, retro look. It provides a superb mechanical baseline for collectors looking to configure a period-correct build with classic European components.
For a complete period-correct rebuild, pair this chassis with classic components. You can check out our available MAFAC Competition road brake clamps to match the vintage French aesthetics, or browse our Gasparro Artisanal Vitus 971 frame if you are comparing different high-end French tubing options.
