It has been about a year since BROTURES, starting with the Osaka store, began carrying this brand. Little by little, we can feel that more people are becoming aware of the brand VENDETTA, but we still want many more people to discover it.
The frameset being released this time preserves VENDETTA’S philosophy, features, and strengths, but takes a different approach from the usual lineup. We asked VENDETTA to bring to life the idea of “it would be great to have a frame like this” from BROTURES
First, let me briefly introduce VENDETTA
"VENDETTA BIKE"
VENDETTA is a handmade bike brand from Peru.
VENDETTA was born with the vision of creating the best fixed gear bikes in Latin America. Their frames, developed over many years of testing materials and shapes, have become popular among riders across South America and beyond. Today, VENDETTA is available in countries with strong fixed gear cultures, including the United States, Chile, Japan, Australia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. VENDETTA is a rare brand that brings genuine passion for fixed gear bikes, combining respect for the long-standing culture with modern designs – all handmade with care.
Now, let me introduce the frameset "VENDETTA TripleT BROTURES Edition"
◉Custom Geometry Exclusive to This Frame
VENDETTA produces handmade frames, and their standard lineup is based on frame geometries designed from their own philosophy. However, for this special edition, they crafted the frame based on BROTURES’ specific requests for geometry.
Unlike the “Mega Low Pro Triple T,” a pursuit frame that has been a representative model from VENDETTA, this new model is based on the more horizontal geometry Triple T.
The frame comes in three sizes: S / M / L, and after discussions with VENDETTA, we developed a Japan-specific geometry that better fits the body proportions of Japanese riders and enhances comfort and riding enjoyment.
One of their key features and strengths is its Triple Triangle Design.
By adding an extra junction point where the seat stays meet the seat tube, this structure increases frame stiffness and improves pedaling power transfer efficiency.
・The BB drop is set higher
・THe seat angle is designed to be steeper
Most of us use bikes not only for racing against the clock but for commuting and casual riding around the city. The design aims to make starting off from a stop, such as at traffic lights, smooth and effortless.
Japanese riders generally have shorter limbs compared to riders overseas. Rather than worrying about frame size, we wanted to create a design that offers more flexibility through component choice, while also focusing on stability rather than overly sharp handling. We paid particular attention to the following points with that in mind.
・A slightly shorter top tube length
・A head angle that isn’t overly steep, providing a trail geometry that ensures straight-line stability.
At first glance, this frame may look unique or unconventional, but we believe it delivers a surprisingly stable and ease-to-handle ride for the rider.
An essential element in bringing our ideal frame was the head tube standard and fork selection. To achieve the stable ride quality and ideal trail value as mentioned before, we chose a fork with specifications not found in their standard lineup.
・The fork features a full carbon, 28mm offset design
・ The frame adopts a 44mm head tube standard
Their usual lineup does not offer a full carbon fork, and the available forks typically have a larger offset. While it would have been possible to design the frame to much those specs, we saw this as an opportunity to fully pursue our ideal setup. So, we went the extra mile and made special requests to ensure this frame meets our highest expectations.
We aimed to enhance straight-line stability by reducing the fork offset. In addition, by choosing a full carbon fork, we achieved both weight reduction and improved ride comfort by softening the vibrations that travel up to the handlebars. The use of a 44mm head tube also expands the range of customization options for the headset.
For reference, we took inspiration from similar setups, such as the CINELLI Vigorelli Steel, which combines a chromoly frame with a full carbon fork.
◉ Details
While we’ve already covered the custom geometry, we’d also like to highlight the finer details of this frame.
The material used for this frame is chromoly. It is a highly durable material known for its flexibility and strength despite its slim profile, making it a popular choice for bicycle frames. That said, the quality of chromoly can vary greatly, as do the manufacturers who produce it — and we made no compromises in this area.
・Double-butted chromoly tubing from COLUMBUS
Frames made with chromoly tubing from COLUMBUS, the renowned Italian tube manufacturer, are known for their excellent material quality and bring out the smooth, responsive ride characteristic of chromoly to the fullest.
On the underside of BB, you’ll find both the VENDETTA logo and the COLUMBUS dove mark proudly engraved. These playful little details are another charming feature that adds to the appeal of the frame.
・The frame color is Raw Copper
One of the popular frame finishes often seen from VENDETTA is called RAW, where the chromoly frame's bare metal surface is polished and finished with a clear coat. In Peru, where VENDETTA is based, many riders enjoy watching the natural aging process as the frame develops rust over time, creating a unique character. The Raw Copper color for this release is not part of VENDETTA's current lineup — it's a revival of a color that existed in the past, brought back especially for this project.
The raw metal surface of the frame remains visible, with the heat marks from the welding process still showing through, creating a unique and captivating look.
This Copper finish feels like something that should have existed all along, yet somehow never has.
We highly recommend seeing it in person to truly appreciate its character.
・Internal brake cable routing
Apparently, this specification is not typically offered for orders in Peru, but for us to fully enjoy fixed-gear bikes in Japan, attention to these small details is extremely important. For this Japan-exclusive model, we asked them to weld a guide tube inside the top tube to allow for internal brake cable routing.
Having internal cable routing makes a huge difference in the clean. This seamless, precise craftsmanship is truly impressive.
◉Finally
This frame is extremely limited, with only six units available.
These frames cannot be mass-produced because they are handmade, making them a rare find.
As mentioned earlier, VENDETTA is a valuable brand passionately crafting fixed gear bikes far away from Japan. We are grateful to carry products from such a dedicated brand, and even more excited that they turned our specific requests into reality. We hope you’ll enjoy using this frame for your daily commute and take it out for rides on your days off.
