Going to School with the Bicibus
Daccordi has always built bicycles. Road bikes, gravel bikes, custom frames, bicycles designed to go fast, to race, to travel, to climb, to descend, to ride on dirt roads, to compete and to explore. Our daily work is made of tubes, fibres, geometries, welds,...
If the GigaChad Rode a Bike, He’d Choose a Handmade Bicycle
The internet has convinced us that the “alpha male” is the one who follows the winning crowd. He buys what’s fashionable, rides what the professionals ride, and chases the loudest brand of the moment. But maybe the real GigaChad would do the exact opposite: he would...
The women’s bike has disappeared. The custom bike has not.
A few years ago, walking into a bike shop, it was quite normal to find a section dedicated to women’s bikes. It was not just a matter of different colours, wider saddles or softer graphics: at least in their best intentions, those models tried to respond to real...
What do cyclists dream of? We asked them in the Prosecco Hills
A few days ago, we were at Nova Eroica Prosecco Hills, in Veneto. At our stand, we chose a simple way to get to know people: we offered them Vin Santo and cantuccini biscuits and asked, in return, for a small favour. To write down, on a little tag, their own...
Why Fillet Brazing over TIG. A Social Response
Under almost every welding video we post on YouTube or on our social channels, someone eventually asks the same question: why don’t we weld with TIG? The belief, usually expressed with great confidence, is always more or less the same: TIG would be stronger, cleaner,...
Is Cycling Following the Same Curve as Motorsport?
When Sport Becomes a Product: The Moment It Stops Being Real There comes a precise moment when a sport stops belonging to those who practice it and understand it, and starts belonging to those who buy it. It’s not a natural evolution, it’s a transformation. And when...
Not following trends, for VdP, is a technical (and human) choice
In recent years, cycling has taken a very clear direction: increasingly narrow handlebars, inward-rotated levers, ever more compact positions in the name of aerodynamics. A trend that has quickly become dominant, almost mandatory, to the point that anyone who doesn’t...
The Bike Contador Didn’t Want (And What It Teaches Us)
There is a simple way to better understand complex things: instead of asking what works, try asking what doesn’t work. It is a principle attributed to Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi, and outside of mathematics it becomes surprisingly concrete. Because success can take a...
Steel is not dead. It simply doesn’t follow trends.
Every few years, someone says steel is dead. That it no longer makes sense, that it’s outdated, that today there are more advanced, more modern, more “appropriate” materials. It’s a recurring statement, almost comforting, as if we constantly need to declare something...

The Craft Bike Days by DT Swiss: artisans in the Sienese hills
There are events created to make noise, and others created simply to bring people together. The Craft Bike Days, organized by DT Swiss, clearly belong to the second category: a deliberately closed-door event reserved for Italian artisan frame builders, without the...
A divisive bicycle is not a problem. It’s a signal.
A few days ago, on our social channels, we shared content featuring a rather particular Stradiva bicycle. It is Fabrizio’s bike, a bike he didn’t simply choose but personally designed. He arrived with a very clear idea of what he wanted: the design, the RAL colors,...
You’re Not Buying an Object. You’re Buying Passion.
From the alabaster of Volterra to Daccordi bikes, with a stop in Ginestra Fiorentina for Matteo’s handcrafted sneakers: three stories that celebrate the beauty of imperfection and the work done by hand—and from the heart. There’s a phrase that resonates with anyone...
Daccordi: The Art of Tailor-Made Gravel Frames

Why we don’t offer a lifetime warranty on our bikes
In the world of bicycles, we often hear about a “lifetime warranty” as if it were the ultimate symbol of quality and reliability. But have we ever stopped to consider what it really means? For us, it’s more of a marketing gimmick than a genuine benefit for the...
Steel or Carbon: Debunking the Myth About Bike Weight
Pensa Think about it: a steel bike can be only slightly heavier than a high-end carbon bike! When it comes to road bikes, the common belief is that steel is heavy and carbon is incredibly lightweight. But is that really true? The answer might surprise you! A...

Our Strade Bianche, just a short ride from home

Thin Desires and the Ones That Truly Change You

Somewhere, it’s not even a “normal” bike
