COUSTELLIER TRIALS PRODUCTS
Coming to the USA in 2004!
As most of you have heard by now, this years UCI World Championships in Lugano, SUI were dominated by the brother team of Gilles and Giacomo Coustellier riding new 26” prototype frames designed by their father, Michel.
Now these World Championship winning trials frames are available in the US. The Coustellier is like no other bike on the market. Sure there are wannabe copies out there, but they’re not constructed with the same quality materials or design. Neither has any other frame been as thoroughly tested to the level of the Coustellier 26”. Excerpts from the Coustellier Trials Products press release:
“Our frame is the result of two years of development. The best pilots in the world have been involved in its development and the frame won both world champion titles. The Coustellier frame is the most quickly copied frame of the trial history, but I can swear to you that the Coustellier frame was not produced in the same place than the zoo one and that the Coustellier frame is quite different from its fantasy copy.”
Specs released:
-1080mm wheelbase (with Fournales fork)
-71 degree head tube (with Fournales fork)
-4.4 lb frame weight
-385 mm chainstays
Information in the press release regarding not releasing all the specs.
“I am sorry but we are too small to risk another copy from Zoo using our geometry. He has the production power to do it quickly. But developing frame is not such an easy business. We made and tested three prototypes before launching the production. Zoo didn’t even take time to test its bike. It is impossible because we only show the Coustellier for the first time in September.”
“We are a small and young company whose philosophy is to produce the highest quality trials products on the market. We are working on other development projects, but only where we are certain to improve the performance. We are working for a long-term strategy. We have the best pilots of the moment to develop material and to win competitions, we have the best designer and we have ideas for new trials products. We aim for Coustellier Trials Products to become in 3 or 5 years the absolute standard in trials world.”
