Seat post: alloy Press Release Alfa Romeo bikes precede the American introduction of Alfa Romeo Cars Alfa Romeo is introducing a stable of touring, trail and competition bicycles in 2011 ranging in prices from $1095 to $11,995. For the first time in its 100 year history of fine automobiles Alfa Romeo has designed an extraordinary collection of hand built bicycles. The Stradale Touring (synonymous with the fabulous Grand Prix winning Alfas) to the Cross trail bike and the one of a kind 8C Competizione all carbon fiber road bike, bicycle enthusiasts have little left to wish for. The bicycles are the brain-child of Veber Ferrari, a cycling enthusiast for decades and close friend of Alfa Romeo top management. Five years ago, Ferrari initiated the idea of building Alfa Romeo bicycles for sport and competition to be sold alongside the Alfa Romeo automobiles currently winning the hearts of all Europeans. His ideas resonated with the executives at Alfa Romeo but they insisted that the bicycles meet the demanding quality and competitive standards displayed by the newest of Alfas, the fabulous 8C Competitizione. The bicycles had to be designed in collaboration with Centro Stile, the design center of Alfa Romeo. Alfa management insisted that branding each bicycle by painting the name or applying a decal was insufficient. Each bicycle had to be hand built. This meant that only Italian artisans familiar with bicycle performance could be allowed to assemble the bicycles. The frames themselves were to be built by Alfa Romeo under the strictest of quality control reserved for their finest sports cars. Lastly, Alfa Romeo executives made a good business decision. Rather than have the bicycle project be part of a big car company hierarchy, which could slow down the project and eliminate entrepreneurial enthusiasm Alfa chose to place the entire project into the hands of Weber Ferrari as a licensee. Licensing means that Alfa Romeo delegated the manufacturing of their bicycles to Ferrari’s company, Compagnia Ducale SRL of Milan, Italy taking a percentage of the sales as well as participating in the marketing decisions. Over the past three years Compagnia Ducale has directed their marketing efforts to those countries where Alfa Romeo automobiles are sold since the car dealers are some of the most enthusiastic sellers of the bicycles. In addition, bicycle dealers in Europe and the rest if the world have embraced these top-of-the-line unique bicycles. With the acquisition of the Chrysler Corporation, Fiat (owners of Alfa Romeo) has promised the introduction of Alfa Romeo automobiles to America in 2012. Fiat already distributes Ferrari, Maserati and the 8C Alfa Romeo Competizione and the new Fiat 500 in America through the Ferrari/Maserati and select Chrysler dealer distribution network. Now, Compagnia Ducale has established a marketing presence in the USA with offices in Hollywood, Florida. The full range of Alfa Romeo and other Fiat Group bicycles can be seen on the website of www.compagniaducale.net For additional information contact the Compagnia Ducale representative for North America, Marc Mosko (ex-President AROC-USA) at mmosko@aol.com or 954-261-7054 On Dec-30-10 at 09:59:39 PST, seller added the following information: Introducing … the Alfa Romeo Stradale Touring bike Be the first in the USA to own and ride an Alfa Romeo Stradale Touring bicycle.

In the first line it says that there is no shipping cost, but below there is a shipping cost of $60 anywhere in the Contintental USA. Due the error I have decided to eliminate the shipping cost and will ship to the winning bidder anywhere in the Contintental US.
