Italian master framebuilder Mario Confente began his career racing and building bicycles in Italy before moving to California in 1973 to work with Masi. In 1976, he began producing frames under his own name, quickly earning recognition for his exceptional attention to detail, innovative techniques, and impeccable craftsmanship. Tragically, his career was cut short when he passed away in 1979 at just 34 years old, having produced only approximately 135 frames bearing his name. Today, original Mario Confente bicycles are among the most coveted and collectible vintage road bikes in the world, admired for their timeless Italian-inspired design, remarkable craftsmanship, and the enduring legacy of one of cycling's most celebrated framebuilders.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Confente","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56461022134644,"sku":"B37657","price":24999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/2490\/6557\/files\/B37657_76MrioCnfte_1of62.jpg?v=1792196314","url":"https:\/\/cyclelimited.com\/products\/1979-confente-pro-strada-vintage-road-bike-61cm","provider":"Cycle Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
