BELLE Cycles is the namesake of Italian-born, Barcelona-based, frame builder Enrico Bellé. Enrico is a true lifelong craftsman with a passion for bicycles that radiates through his work. DRPD is proud to represent BELLE Cycles bringing Enrico's unique style and approach to North American cyclists.
Why BELLE Cycles?
We carefully selected BELLE Cycles as a frame building partner because Enrico's philosophy aligns so perfectly with ours. The end goal is fun and together we are serious about the machines we create only because they are such a critical instrument in the cycling journey. We're here to help guide and enhance your riding experience by providing a bicycle that is truly in-tune with your riding personality — a tool that will quickly become your most trusted companion.
Why Steel?
We believe modern steel bicycles can provide the best overall ride feeling of any frame material. The lively sensation provided by a well-tuned steel frame is quite unique. The bike accelerates forward with a uniquely robust, yet springy response that powers forward with each pedal stroke. Rough roads are calmed as the material absorbs and dissipates vibrations in a way that other materials cannot. With modern geometries and tubing technologies, a BELLE Cycles steel frame is an advanced cycling machine that will stand the test of time.
