Charnes Tours creates unique travel experiences through active vacations. We bike, hike, swim, cook and explore. We help you take the path less traveled.
When done right travel can be enriching, enlightening and thoroughly entertaining. Often the best travel experiences are those you least expect. Communicating with someone who doesn’t speak your language can be immensely rewarding. Getting lost and then found can make for a great story. Ordering from a menu in a foreign language with only your wits to guide you can make for a fabulous meal.
Charnes Tours facilitates these experiences. We know the prettiest Tuscan back roads for cyclists. We know the nicest hiking trails in the Amalfi Coast. We know wine makers, cheese producers, artisans, restaurateurs and hoteliers.
This KZread channel is designed to let you know a little more about me and the tours I organize. Here you will find videos about European cycling, hiking and travel. You can see the tours we offer at www.charnestours.

Why a steel frame in 2024 ........
Could you ask him about fork rake and trail? Thanks!
i really love this video and wish i could be there to learn more
Poteva essere un bel video con un vero maestro telaista italiano, peccato che per risparmiarti qualche minuto di editing per mettere i sottotitoli lo hai fatto parlare in inglese, avrebbe potuto dire molte più cose interessanti nella sua lingua...
I love that he struggles with time estimates…like all great Italian maestros.
Started watching this not knowing we would wind up at Daccordi. No complaints. I'd love a Daccordi, especially a 50th Anniversary model, which I assume to have been made in this workshop.
❤️👏👏🙏🇧🇷🙏👏👏❤️
👏❤️
English is a joke
Make me sad to see this man, very talented but alone in this big place, like he is the last master and all the knowledge he have will disapear after him.
*Great **Latest.Bike** , good looking, good suspension and love the gearing. I've tested some bikes that were more then twice the price but not as good. Get lots of looks when riding.*
Daccordi....is world renowned .. not a guy who lives near here.. Catso..che cosa..
Great to see in detail this craftsman approach to building bikes. Just found them on the 'net and they offer some gorgeous models, including very timeless classics.
jesus there are some fucking critical keyboard warriors on here who couldn't video or conduct any interview of worth in their life ... , the guy should be commended on taking the time in making this video for us for free that we can look back in the future when Luigi is long gone ....who cares if the interviewer doesn't know some of the finer points of a custom frame that some on here think they might have or that Luigi wants to use his new found talent of English ....great video on where Daccordi is in recent years ...
00:15 With the changes in the bike industry post-COVID, I imagine your buddy can't keep bikes in stock these days. 😊
Good
Wow we didn’t have 12 speeds on road bikes when this video was recorded 3 years ago. Shimano as always is slow to adopt 12 speed on road bikes. So when Shimano finally release a 12 speed road groupset. SRAM and Campagnolo will come up with 13 speed. In this never ending arms race. I believe the industry will never stop adding more gears. Now the we have wider 142x12mm thru-axle, 148x12 boost and 157x12mm super boost hubs standards. That’s plenty more extra space available from the previous 135mm quick release hubs standard.
10 speed is enough
We used ti call those freewheels "racing blocks" or "straight blocks" and if you wanted to get any respect you certainly didn't have anything bigger than a 21!
Bruh… that is not what a bike is for.
You can tell that he rides... very fit.
You can easily polish out that scuff on the saddle, the person you asked doesn't know what he is talking about - I have done so a number of times on leather saddles with great success - just use some good quality shoe polish, and use a number of coats, polishing after every coat - job done.
why do people make videos with a camera pointing up at their nose.....its grotesque....i guess people like it
Not sure it's a colnago they usually come with a three leaf clover cut out on fork crown and lugs
Looks great ! But I'd have to ride it at least now and again!! But very nice😁
Fascinating to watch a true craftsman do his thing. Btw when it comes to welding/ brazing for the most part it’s the heat and not the bright light that damages your eyesight.
Подарите мне велосипед я из КЫРГЫЗСТАНА. ВСЕМ ПРИВЕТ!
It's no wonder Italians make such good bikes...."its just like plumbing"
Jeez..... is he the only one that works there....
No, there are about a dozen people working there besides Mr. Daccordi. This was probably shot on a Sunday.
Vintage steel is real! I'm restoring a '69 Raleigh Professional. "The great white" I call it, only year they came white.
Should have shown close up of the beautiful joints of the lugged frame of Mr Daccordi's frame. Those were works of art.
that was difficult to watch
Hermosa maquina soy fanatico de Colnago
Muy bueno un artesano
The peg for the pump might indicate that its bianchi.
This video sucks. Why force this craftsman to speak a second language instead of translating later? There is ZERO nuance in this conversation, and bicycle frame building is incredibly nuanced. Your avatar has you in a cycling jersey, how do you not know shit about steel bikes or their popularity? Are you in the culture or just trying to capitalize on it? Everything about this video is so frustrating. GTFO.
Good to see he has his safety sandals on.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 Gracie mile Sigñori , per la master class, sei molto grosso maestro! Un saludo desde Barcelona.
21:55 !
This interview felt like teeth being pulled. If YOU cannot speak with the man in his native tongue, bring along someone who can! What this interviewer knows about custom bike frames can written on my thumbnail.
What I would give to have this bike, and here it is trapped on your wall. A true tragedy.
Such a pity the interviewer did not let Mr. Daccordi speak Italian and then add subtitles. The explanations would have been fluent and viewers would have gotten the old man's ideas: Mr. Daccordi accumulated the wisdom of generations of steel frames builders and speaking English reduces him to a babbling locksmith.
Or maybe he just wanted to speak English and the viewers could also enjoy the will he has to do so. I don't feel him being reduced to anything. Maybe it's just in your head.
He interrupts his answers every time and puts words in his mouth. The video needs to be redone for sure 23:37 he says resistance, interviewer interrupts and says adjustment. He's just like an impatient mum trying to predict what he's saying instead of listening and learning
Yes, you are not obliged to speak English anyway, the KZreadr is the most interested in knowing. 👎
great story. great looking frame
Awesome, shame the interviewer had no idea of the process of building a frame. He had no concept of the level of knowledge of the gentleman whom he was interviewing.
I'm about to restore a 1984 Peugeot Reynolds 531 Pro bike with period correct Simplex, Stronglight, Weinmann, etc. parts so really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing :-)
He should be speaking Italian to Luigi and the translating the answer.
Jeff Martin appreciate the effort, I have no problem understanding what Luigi is trying to convey, and he is clearly proud of the progress he’s made. Imagine yourself trying to learn another language at his age.
Agreed, have 2 videos, identical questions in English & Italian and let Luigi flow. I'm sure we would've gotten a LOT more of his wisdom in his native tongue because he was limited when speaking English. It's like asking a scientist to try to explain rocket propulsion using only words with 2 syllables.
23:09 lol ok so it became Learn to speak English in high end Italian bike shop 27:23
Today he is going to make a steel frame because this is the material he uses to make frames...caprice?
Enjoyed a lot
fallo parlare in italiano e traduci lo no?
Beautiful frame, not a Colnago though.
Is this where Mason has their frames made?
I used to have a Rossin Record, 1980s.. love my new to me 1990s Italian Casati Ellis, with Columbus EL- OS tubes, all Campy.. I have a S Selle Anatomica made in Wisconsin seat and is smooth as butter, fast as lightening ⚡( well as fast as an older guy can ) . However wouldn't mind trying titanium Carbon fiber , non recyclable junk in land fills. I wonder do humans think about what happens after they make something. PS I wish him good business and a profitable new year.., but most young guys from what I see are riding carbon from Asia, his family business of steel bike builders may be phasing out.😟 I have heard that just as carbon fiber was coming in they were gonna go to the next generation hydroformed steel , just like aluminum . to bad.. Did not go that route , but even then he would have had to develop that type of business.
I have been riding the same Ciöcc lugged Columbus SLX frame for almost 30 years. (I did spend quite a few miles on an AlAn in there too). Steel is great for general riding and training. It’s race worthy too. I feel the same about carbon plastic frames. I also would consider a Ti frame. Keep riding!
