Who we are
Bradley Cycles.
Founded by Antonello Mattia in Italy in 2020, Bradley was born out of a pure desire: to create a never-seen-before project.
Born out of love for bikes, Bradley is an adventure that sits in between road and nature, asphalt and terrain, between dirt and clean. The desire to breathe, to feel good, to move anywhere at zero impact. The desire to create a high quality product, handmade. The awareness that after 2020 nothing will be the same as before but cyclists will, with faces destroyed by fatigue and decorated with a smile; that you will have to care. To health, to the environment, to respect.
Bradley is only a bike, but with the mission of building a better future by building the next generation of cyclists.
ANTONELLO MATTIA - The artist
He began his activity in 1980 as product and development manager for Benotto Bicycles in Padua, in the racing department. The first frames were designed for champions such as Francesco Moser, Roger De Vlaeminck, Moreno Argentin, Johan Museeuw, Silvano Contini, Gregor Braun.
He completely renews the frames’ production process and with Benotto presents the Krono Gold Frame, used during the Giro d'Italia by Roberto Visentini, then the Ghibli Frame, a real jewel of evolution used during the Tirreno Adriatico by Gregor Braun.
The vertical tube misaligned from the bottom bracket shell becomes visible for the first time.
At the 1988 Milan Bike and Motorcycle Show he presented the prototype of the modern monocoque mtb, a project called "piramid project".
In 1990 he created Gamma Trading together with Luana Moretto, a production and development company for racing frames. A casual encounter with Maurizio Fondriest led to the idea of creating a new brand: so in 1990 was born the “Fondriest Biciclette" competition bikes
Supported by Dedacciai he designs and builds the first steel frame weighing only 1.3kg, consecrated by great champions including Marc Madiot, Sean Kelly, Francesco Casagrande, Bobby Julich, Maurizio Fondriest and Andrea Ferrigato to name a few.
At the end of the 90s he closed his collaboration with Fondriest and created his own brand, Dynatek, with which the Portuguese Sergio Paulinho hit silver at the 2004 Athens Olympics behind Paolo Bettini.
He created, among others and first, the frame with the double predisposition: mechanical and electronic with the battery inside the frame.
