Land Shark

LAND SHARK STEEL FRAMES

Land Shark steel frames are built with a combination of fillet brazed and lugged construction, and full fillet brazed construction for the top end models.

Fillet brazing has been around for decades, and it's a great way to make a superlight, durable steel bike. Fillet brazing joins tubes with molten brass, which is formed into a ‘fillet’ around each mitered tube. The process is time consuming, but when done correctly, the result is a beautiful, seamless transition from tube to tube. And since no lugs are required, a wider range of oversized and multishaped tubes are available.

Brazing (lugged or fillet) is also a lower temperature process than TIG welding, which helps preserve the strength of ultralight steel tubes.

Land Shark can also build fullly lugged frames upon request. Call for details.

For tubing, Land Shark often builds with the latest Dedacciai butted micro alloy steels due to their minimal weight, excellent durability and wide variety of shapes and sizes to help tune the ride to customer needs. Other tubing from Columbus, Reynolds and True Temper is also available.
