If Simoncini is one of the lesser known Italian framebuilders it’s largely because the Castelfiorentino-based brand spent decades making frames for third parties. Started in 1949 by brothers Renato and Oddino Simoncini, their workshop in the Tuscan countryside has built for famed marques such as Ciocc, Viner and Orbea. However, since 2017 the operation has been headed up by a third-generation Simoncini, Eugenio, and is back to making frames that bear the family name.
