NEVI s.r.l

Nevi was founded in 1992 thanks to the determination of the co-founders Sergio Finazzi and his wife Consuelo, their vision was to excel and stand out from the other bicycle frames brands by choosing to work a noble material such as Titanium.Sergio Finazzi desire to create Nevi came from his experience as a professional cyclist from 1987 to 1990 : famous was his stage won at Tirreno-Adriatico in 1987, third overall in the Tour of Britain in 1987 and seventh place at a historic stage of the Tour of Italy in 1988, which set off from the Chiesa Valmanenco and saw the arrival of the racers in Bormio exhausted from cold and bad weather faced on the Passo Gavia. The stage was the snow and this extremely intense experience, full of sacrifice, led to important memories, along with a passion for the mountain itself, therefore the brand choice of the company : NEVI .Nevi employ some special techniques in the fabrication of their frames. Water jet cutting allows Nevi to create novel shapes and their frame welding takes place in a Vacuum Chamber. The Vacuum chamber is key to Nevi&#39s quality : All air (and therefore impurities) is removed and the chamber filled with Argon, an inert gas. By welding in Argon, the possibility of weld contamination is removed and gasses already dissolved in the metal can be released and removed without reaction, this yields far stronger welds. Welding Titanium is an art-form in itself. Take a look at the welds on a Nevi and you&#39ll notice that they are different from many Ti frames. The Argon welding creates a smooth look to the weld and they are up to 3 times stronger than those from traditional welding. It is Nevi&#39s special processes that allow them to produce a Titanium Road Fork that is strong enough to perform.
