Cyfac

Cyfac is a manufacturer of racing bicycle frames based in La Fuye, Hommes, Indre-et-Loire, France. Its founder, Francis Quillon, started as a racer but became a frame builder. An accomplished amateur, he also worked as a welder for the team's sponsor. In between races, Francis did repairs on his teammates' bikes, eventually building entire frames for the sponsor. Word spread and, soon enough, young Francis was building frames for many of the area's local racers, putting paid to his competitive career and leading to the opening of Cyfac. Francis' reputation for building beautifully crafted, custom framesets spread and the shop's clientele of professionals and top-level amateurs grew.
