About this model
Our flagship steel frame is as popular as ever, and the original superbike is now even better! Used as a commuter by some, fast tourer or winter trainer by others, its inherent versatility makes it ideal if you don't have space for a stable of bikes. Custom drawn and shaped tube sections used at the seat stays create a responsive frame that minimises rider fatigue and maintains ride quality. The latest model uses lighter and smoother, custom-shaped Columbus Spirit tubing. This responsive triple-butted steel is lively and exciting to ride, whatever the weather.

Perfect geometry for every ride
The geometry of our number one frame is enjoyed worldwide. A slacker head tube compared with our performance range gives you control over tricky surfaces, confidence in busy traffic situations, and the ability to ride all day in comfort.
![Ovalised tubes](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0858/4882/t/103/assets/bdfb1e97934d--76107d2d961f-Fratello-custom-tubes-d228a3-759bc0.jpg?v=1702904571)
Ovalised tubes
The down tube begins ovalised and becomes hexagonal the bottom bracket; the flattened top tube with a squarer shape makes the tube stronger where stress is greatest, but without adding material. The result: our lightest Fratello frame to date.
![Maximum versatility](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0858/4882/t/103/assets/bdfb1e97934d--76107d2d961f-CONDOR-2020-Fratello-AgateGrey-3QFront-L1020870-77fca0-90b8ff.jpg?v=1702904581)
Maximum versatility
Get the grip and comfort benefits of 28mm wide tyres, and ride confidently on taxing surfaces and in difficult weather without having to forgo full mudguards. Fit a rack and increase your carrying capacity.
![Rust inhibiting treatment](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0858/4882/t/103/assets/bdfb1e97934d--76107d2d961f-Condor-Italy-Factory-165-copy-86c70d-1c0ebe.jpg?v=1702904589)
Rust inhibiting treatment
After being welded, filed and cleaned, our steel frames are dipped in a rust inhibiting treatment. The treatment provides a degree of protection, particularly inside the frame, against corrosion caused by acidic substances (including water). Read more

Deep drop calliper brakes
The Fratello is designed for deep drop brakes. Deep drop brake calipers allow for wider tyres and mudguards to be fitted to the bike ensuring mud and stones don't get trapped between your tyre and fork or guard. We developed our Condor Pioggia Deep Drop brakes to work seamlessly with SRAM, Shimano and Campagnolo. There are also deep drop brake options from Shimano, TRP and Tektro.
