Welcome to a special edition at F. Duarte, the bicycle manufacturer in Bogota, Colombia. In this exclusive video, we delve into the heart of this three-generational family business with over 55 years of bicycle building experience. F. Duarte is a household name in South America, yet surprisingly lesser-known in the United States. Join me as we explore their facility and meet the youngest generation of the Duarte family.

🚴‍♂️ 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬: Founded by the grandfather of the current generation, F. Duarte started over five decades ago when he ordered an Italian frame-building machine known as the "Jig". Today, F. Duarte is not just a brand; it's a legacy in bicycle craftsmanship.

Join Nicholas, the third generation of the Duarte family, as he takes us through the shop, showcasing the meticulous process of crafting titanium, Cromoly, stainless steel, and other steel frames. Discover the unique artistry involved in carbon fiber repair—a skill mastered within these walls.

But the journey doesn't end there. Fabio Duarte, the second generation, shares insights into the quality and processes that make F. Duarte bicycles truly exceptional. With over 55 years of expertise, this family has honed their craft to perfection.

🎨 𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗧: Ascend to the second floor, where we witness the distinctive paint process that sets F. Duarte apart. Nicholas explains how they've evolved artistically, creating custom designs that are truly one-of-a-kind. From vibrant colors to titanium bead blasting, each bicycle is a canvas of innovation.
