Last year my friend Eric wanted me to build him a CUEVAS CUSTOM FRAME,finally after 3 months,a hernia repair and mild foot fracture,i was able to get it done. Reynolds 653 tubing with Nova lugs,straight blade fork threadless,complete 105 new 11 speed group with shimano wheels.The frame is 55cm toptube and 55cm seattube.
The bike weighs 19.5lbs not bad for old skool steel.

Here is a team edition CUEVAS CARBON this is the bike my boys raced on in 2005-06,the end of that year is when i got sick,
I found these pics and just wanted to show what the bikes looked like.

LOOK AT WHAT WE CHARGED IN 1981 FOR CUSTOM FRAME ONLY $615.00 BACK THEN A READY MADE COLNAGO WAS $950.00 SO TODAY TO PAY 1750.00 FOR A NEW CUEVAS IS STILL CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rauls Carbon Cuevas redone and tuneup.Looks great after 10 years!!!!!!

Here is another Cuevas beauty that still looks and rides as it did on day one.

HERE IS A BIKE THAT ORLANDO OLMO HAD BUILT BY GRANDPA IN THE 1980s,
This is my Cuevas framed bike. The frame was crafted by Mr. Cuevas in 1981 for me. I choose all the components and built it all up. Even laced up two sets of rims with what was at that time the first set of aero rims. The bike is Reynolds 531 and painted in a fade from silver to black. I had the privilege of being there five of the six days it took to build the frame. Mr. Cuevas worked alone in his little shop and I just sat there and watched him do his magic. All hand filing and fitting. There are so many amazing things about his way of building but having it all done by eye, then watching him toss a frame on table to check the frame for alignment, do his measuring and have the frame come off with absolutely no need for adjustment is incredible. The seat cluster is a particular work of art. I have no idea if all he did was just a collection of what he learned from others or just straight out of his head. The sum of all the details makes for any of his frames to be a story all to themselves.
