Scott Warren of Javelin shows off the Gattinara carbon fiber and titanium frame.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

The rear end of the Gattinara. Combining carbon fiber and titanium is a slightly expensive way to make a bike frame, so Javelin goes the whole hog and uses specific tubes for each size in its laser-cut lugs.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Gattinara seat cluster - it's just bike jewellery, isn't it?(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Gattinara head lug also mounts the cable adjusters, saving a couple grams of cable outer!(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Gattinara bottom bracket - Simple. Effective.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Brunello ready to race - both the Ford-Basis and TIAA-CREF teams are racing Javelin's aluminium-scandium and carbon fiber frame.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Tidy construction of a Brunello front end.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Bottom bracket facing - it's esential that the shell be faced for it to work well with modern external-bearing bottom brackets. It's not stricly necessary for it to shine, though!(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Brunello caron rear end - it's swoopy.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Brunello head tube takes a tidy integrated headset.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Brunello seat tube - not the external, removable seat clamp, a sure sign of race-dayt practical experience!(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Arcole TT frame - "every tube in the frame is optimized for aerodynamics," says Warren of the company's flagship TT framne, used by TIAA-CREF, Ford-Basis and - under different paint - a few other teams.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

No-fluff straight seatstays get the job done on the Arcole(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Oval's A900 fork on the Arcole helps cut the air faster.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Heavily shaped tubes and internal cable routing indicate a bike with go-faster intent.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Javelin manages the air by gently easing it out of the way.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

That really is a very big down tube.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Wheels are a new line for Javelin under the Zero Components name. Here's the 700C version of Zero's disc wheel, also in 650C and track versions.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

The complete non-disc wheel line-up. All the Zero wheels feature aero spokes with standard nipples and J-shaped heads for ease of maintentance down the track.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

The Zero 024 wheel weighs a claimed 1250g per pair and is intended for situations where weight is more important than aerodynamic, such as hill-climbing.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Zero 038 wheel - the numbers come from the rim depth (and why not?). The 038s weigh 1300g per pair and feature a deeper rim.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)

Zero 050 wheel - a deep rim design for efforts against the clock, but still only 1470g/pr.(Image credit: Mark Zalewski/Cyclingnews.com)
