Two MTB fanatics managed to realize the dream of their life by unveiling their own bicycle frame building facilities : Fabrication Dobermann Inc.
Alain Lavoie, the one who introduced 24 Bicycles in America and Mathieu Albert, a true metal melting artist that used to work for Balfa..
"We have been working for so long on this project, now that we have the shop and can actually make frames with our own tools and machinery we are very anxious to show the world what we can do!" says Mathieu. "Being 100% independent will give us the freedom to make the bikes that we always dreamed of" adds Alain.
Dobermann Fab. is taking position on the wild side. Unlike the major bike brands that import their frames from Asia to generate more profit, we are following the path of the small American BMX brand and the rare but truly dedicated Canadian frame builders. Our goal is to make affordable, top quality frames that have a soul and ride like no others. All our frames will be designed and built by our crew in our Gatineau shop (Canada's National capital region).
Since last summer, we have been working hard to design a complete line of bikes and components that will be unveiled at the fall trade shows. Since January, our first prototype is being seriously tested by our K9Unit rider: Mario Garyhunter. So far everything is looking very good. If you want to check out our products you will be able to met Mario and the K9 riders at many events this summer.
Our background is almost exclusively coming from the street and freeride scene in which we have been involved since the beginning. There for, the Dobermann frames will mainly focus on those types of riding. Besides our production frames, we will also offer a custom frame service which open our doors to the making of all kind of exotic custom frames : road, trial, BMX, DH. etc.. Our first production frames will mostly be made with 4130 Cro-Moly, but we have the knowledge, skills and machinery to work aluminum and titanium. Our facility will also be open to selected manufacturers to help them produce prototypes and production frames.
Without the input and support of our friends and family, Dobermann Fab. would have probably never have come a reality. Thanks to everyone for your help!
We will be at Interbike...booth # 6613...we mite have some bikes available for test ride at the outdoor demo.
Cheers!
