Lightweight: There are those tales...
That tell you about people with loads of passion and know-how, who are crafting
at a secret product in their garages and finally change the world with it. This
one is from Heinz Obermayer and his partner. It all started with carbon parts
for cars and carbon wheels for Sulkys in the 80ies. A hint led to the development
of the first bike road wheelsets. The nowadays worldwide known wheelsets exist
since 1995. With the takeover from CarbonSports in 2003, Lightweight gained a
lot of new know-how and put it in their wheelsets and other first class products.
Today, Lightweight got miscellaneous products in their portfolio, such as
frames, forks, forks, bars and bottle cages. The passion for details,
the desire for top efficiency and the high precision production constitutes
Lightweights products. They build the most exclusive bike components and
parts for race bikes on which already the best cyclists of the world have won
their competitions.
