This is the four hundred sixty-ninth frame built by European frame-builder Vidmantas “Vitas” Zukauskas. It is a custom gravel race project based on our bestseller, Illuminati.

Looking for a gravel frame built for speed? Then you’re in the right place. We have transferred all the features of our bestseller Illuminati road race version to this beauty, with some geometry tweaks to allow clearance for 40mm tyres and compatibility with a gravel fork. Like the standard Illuminati, it is built from oversized tubes in a super-compact geometry with shallow seatstays, creating a triangular look that inspired the Illuminati name. The gravel version, as standard, features an FSA ACR integrated cockpit.

One piece handlebar/stem combo is available in:

- stem 85 x bar width 375 / 395
- stem 95 x bar width 375 / 395
- stem 105 x bar width 395 / 415
- stem 115 x bar width 415 / 435
- stem 125 x bar width 415 / 435

Simply put, if you’re searching for a gravel racing machine that is even compatible with CAMPY cranks and values rigidity above all, this is your choice! Handcrafted in Europe. 

Wittson Custom Ti Cycles

Already well known as a frame-builder for COLNAGO, Vidmantas “Vitas” Zukauskas has been building best-selling frames from the mid-90s, going by the names Monotitan, Ovaltitan, Ovalmaster, Master BiTitan, CT1, etc. These works of master craftsmanship are broadly recognized and their quality speaks for itself. As COLNAGO moved on to Asia and carbon frame production, Vitas continued to specialize in ti frame building for other brands, including ARGON18, RED BULL, VAN TUYL etc. Over time, Vitas has become more and more well known as a master in ti frame building with worldwide orders from cyclists that value craftsmanship. His son has become involved in ti frame building and they have embarked on a new journey with WITTSON. These are bespoke tailor-made frames built to last a lifetime.
