  • An artist is only as good as his work of art, passion, and craftsmanship. For over 25 years, Ave Maldea, a homegrown frame builder, proves that the "man of steel" is real.

    Those frames look fantastic. We need more people like this gentleman, who praise their work and art instead of market and money.

    I had a custom MTB built by Ave back in 1993 or 94. It was a lug-less beauty! Welds were so smooth, you'd think it was putty but it was not. I remember him telling us he pioneered the use of the bike geometry board(?) in the Philippines, the one you'll see behind him (left side) in 0:26 of the video. At the time, he was really high-tech! He showed us his thick book of bike geometry which he used as reference. Pro riders send their bikes to him, and only to him, even in the middle of the Marlboro tour to have those fixed. He is the pros' pro, so to speak.
    It's cool that my son, now 19 and a biker himself, envies me for having a custom bike built by Ave. Proud customer here. More power, chief! :)

    Steel is the best material for bike frame, it is the toughest, comfortable, long life especially when you take care of it, and worry free, weight is no issue, no wonder why Superman is known as "The Man of Steel" not The Man of Aluminum, or the Man of Aluminum, or Man of Carbon because steel symbolizes strength. I do love to have a steel frame designed and made by this legend/bike icon Mr. Ave M. as soonest.
