All Mondonico frames get the same level of workmanship. He doesn't have a "second best". The Futura Leggero gives the rider the gift of all of Mondonico's skill and care and a tubeset that is not normally found in frames of this price. The Futura Leggero is made of Columbus Life tubing for its lightness and stiffness. The three main tubes are Nivachrome, drawn with a 0.45mm wall butted. The Life Niobium alloy dramatically increases resitance to environmental elements, making it a frame that will last many years to come. Starting in 1929 with Giuseppe Mondonico and his brother Angelo, the Mondonicos have been personally building steel, lugged frames with their own hands. That tradition has continued right up to today, with third generation builder Mauro Mondonico working side by side with his father, Antonio. The family's involvement with cycling and racing is deeper now than ever. The Mondonico family has always lived in Concorezzo, a small village just outside Milan, very near the famous Monza Motor Speedway. Mondonico has built frames that have won Classics and graced the podium of both the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia. Frames have been built for Claudio Chiappucci, Raymond Poulidor and Eddy Merckx to name just a few. Today, Antonio and Mauro Mondonico work side by side in their small shop, using many of the very same tools that grandfather Giuseppe used. There has been no change in the importance of handwork. While the Mondonico specialty is lugged frames, they also build silver fillet brazed frames. Although the Mondonicos have adopted modern, super-thinwall steel tubes in the different sizes and shapes, and use carbon for the rear triangle, their heart is in steel. With luck, that tradition will continue long into the future as riders looking for that beautiful, perfect ride rather than the material or trend of the day, seek out the Mondonicos and one of their beautiful hand-made frames.
