Hampsten

Hampsten – Remember the 1988 Giro?

Based in Seattle, and namesake of two brothers: Andy, who rode for Team 7-eleven two decades ago; and Steve who runs the operation. custom framebuilding, fitting, and service. on frames, hampsten partners with Indy Fab for 953 Reynolds welded steel, Kent Eriksen, as well as Moots, for 3/2.5 titantium; Bob Parlee for carbon fiber (except for year ’09); and Co-Motion for aluminum (particularly 7000-series alloy). claim to fame: get fitted by a company whose founder had a 22-year race career in which he worked closely with big names.

Drama on the Gavia. Hard to take any complaints about conditions from the pro peloton today too seriously after watching these 4 minutes and 14 seconds.
