It is difficult to find strong enough words to express how much we condemn this war. 🇺🇦

In Poland we can really feel the proximity of the war and it is hard not to witness its consequences. More and more refugees are coming to Poland and we can see it in everyday life here in Wroclaw. The train station used to remind us of the multitude of small bike trips one can make around the city or in neighboring countries, now it’s a place that we associate with people fleeing their country, volunteering work and one of the logistic place in the city where clothes, food and hygiene products are given to to those who needs it.

On the “bright” side people's reaction is amazingly welcoming and Poles have shown support in all possible ways (especially personal initiative as opposed to governmental project).

We stand with Ukraine and feel that one should welcome any person fleeing war, violence, conflict or persecution ✌️

Slava Ukraini!

We also wish the best to Russians individuals and companies who are against this war and struggling in this regime, or have already left ✊

Craftsmanship and technology.

This is our ethos, the association of two very different fields in order to produce exclusive, handmade and high performing products:

To design our FP.1 saddle we first sculpted by hand different saddles shapes in order to produce classic composite molds and first saddle top prototypes.
We picked one iteration to be scanned with an industrial grade 3d scanner. The model was refined and rails designed. 3D printing was used as a fast prototyping solution at different stages.
Afterwards tooling (molds) were CNC machined from a 3D model for prepreg production.
