Vélobsessive and Gregario: Italian Bespoke Framebuilding Meets Swiss Bike Fitting Expertise

Vélobsessive and Gregario: Italian Bespoke Framebuilding Meets Swiss Bike Fitting Expertise

A new partnership brings Gregario’s made-to-measure carbon frames to Vélobsessive in Neerach, connecting Italian frame engineering with Swiss Bike Fitting expertise and personalised builds.

Vélobsessive is expanding its offering with bespoke monocoque carbon frames from Gregario. The new dealer agreement brings together the Italian frame manufacturer’s engineering and production expertise with Vélobsessive’s personalised advice and professional Bike Fitting services in Switzerland.

Neerach / Mondovì – Vélobsessive and Gregario have entered into a new partnership. Under a dealer agreement, the Swiss road bike atelier will add Gregario’s bespoke carbon frames to its offering, giving customers access to a road bike whose individualisation begins with the frame geometry itself.

The collaboration is built on a shared conviction: a road bike should fit the person riding it. Body proportions, flexibility and riding goals therefore provide the starting point – from the initial Bike Fitting to the bespoke frame.

From Bike Fitting to Bespoke Frame Geometry

With Gregario, Vélobsessive is complementing its existing range of premium carbon road bikes in standard frame sizes with the option of a made-to-measure carbon frame. Alongside its individually assembled models, customers can now choose a frame whose geometry is tailored to their physical characteristics and personal requirements.

Gregario’s VERA technology combines bespoke geometry with an integral monocoque construction. The entire frame is manufactured in a single curing process, with development, engineering and production taking place in Mondovì, Italy.

Professional Bike Fitting provides the foundation for the individual design. The focus is on the rider’s position, physical characteristics and expectations for the new road bike. This connects personal consultation, frame geometry and component selection in one coordinated process.

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

For Gregario, Vélobsessive is an ideal partner in Switzerland. Its Bike Fitting expertise and close relationships with customers align with the Italian manufacturer’s personalised approach. Both companies share a passion for bespoke road bikes and a commitment to combining technical quality with a complete build tailored to the rider.

“At Vélobsessive, every road bike starts with understanding what the rider needs. Working with Gregario gives us new opportunities to translate the insights from our Bike Fitting sessions directly into bespoke frame geometry. I am particularly excited by the way Gregario combines Italian craftsmanship with thoughtful engineering. We share a passion for road bikes that fit their riders down to the last detail.”

— Thomas Glättli, Founder and Owner of Vélobsessive

“A bespoke frame starts with understanding the person riding it. That is why we value partners who share our passion and can precisely identify each customer’s individual needs. With its Bike Fitting expertise and consistently personal approach, Vélobsessive is the ideal partner for us in Switzerland. Together, we can put our philosophy into practice, from the first conversation to the finished road bike.”

— Paolo Baldissera, CEO and Co-Founder of Gregario
