Waterford has built a solid reputation for doing it your way. Their beautiful frames have been at the pinnacle of steel framebuilding for ten years. The other side of the business, Gunnar, has opened top quality American made steel frames to a wider audience very successfully and, just like Waterfords, built and finished the way you like.

So, ever wonder what top framebuilders would build if it were their choice not yours? Here's one answer, Waterford's incomparable R-33

Based on True Temper's air hardening S3 tube set, it just starts out light and keeps going. We used a normal Campagnolo Record ensemble for ours with no silly-light bits, Campagnolo Moskva rims with regular Michelins, a normal Flite saddle and usual Italian bars and stem - no carbon even. This bike is still just a tad below 18 pounds as shown! And, like all Waterfords, it rides like a real bike, not an art project!
