K.K. GS ASTUTO - 40yrs of cycling innovation

Our Philosophy - Astuto
I started GS Astuto about 40yrs ago with a couple of other young cycle racers. I was the ‘old man’ in the crew in my late 20′s and just off a stint of cyclotouring and racing in Europe. We were all Italiaphiles, if you’ve seen ‘Breaking Away’ , which was popular at the time, you’d pretty much have us nailed. Add in some basic punk-rock nature, pre-grunge socialism and the target narrows. But more than anything we loved to ride and race. And that’s what we did. A lot. Coming from a mixed farming, logging, aircraft and engineering mashup family history, being a mechanic and engineer was just in the DNA. Working on and building bikes was no different. Serial entrepreneurship followed. GS Astuto is about being clever. My heroes have always been the clever ones. Who challenge the status quo and don’t fear to rides paths unknown. When you ride with GS Astuto you are riding on the result of experience, cooperation and innovation. You are also riding my wheels, bikes and I take that very serious. |
