Bold Precision is located in the
historic village of Kimberton, 25 miles west of Philadelphia. Inside
an 1805 renovated fieldstone barn, Bold Precision is a full-scale privately
owned machine shop with the capabilities of creating custom-made
bicycle and motorcycle parts. With artistic flair Albert Bold can
make the intangible tangible. Utilizing his traditional training and
natural abilities, Albert has designed prototypes for patents as
well as creating and machining specialty parts for industries and
developing his own line of bicycle
components.
Albert has the distinction of
designing and developing some of the lightest quick release bicycle skewers
available on the market today. In response to the need for a
lighter, stronger, more adjustable post, he began designing and
manufacturing titanium seatposts in 1992. Beauty and function go
hand in hand when Bold Precision components are added to a
bicycle. |

As Albert has been a bicycle
enthusiast, road and mountain bike racer for the better part of 28 years, he understands the need for lightweight, adjustable
components. In fact, his own 60 cm. titanium frame, designed for the
Mt. Washington Hill Climb, weighs in at a hefty 2.48 lbs. Shaun
Wallace, the UK National Champion, rode a Bold-built bicycle frame
to attain his title in 1997 and uses a Bold seatpost on all his
bicycles. Former record holder for Bike Across Pennsylvania, Bruce
Frech, as well as Race Across America (RAAM) competitors have used
Bold components.
In 1982 and '83 Albert rode his MV
Agusta to win the National WERA motorcycle championship and
continues to build and design specialty parts for competitors. Billy
Vose, 12 time world champ and the current 1/4 mile Pro-Modified
record holder and Larry Forstall, seven time world record holder at
Bonneville- three of which are currently held. For quite a number of
years, Albert has been instrumental in the maintenance and repair of
racing machines in the Team Obsolete stables. With his background in
motorcycle racing, Albert has specialized in building his own
prototype MV complete with performance-enhancing parts. Some very
well-known people have literally and figuratively pursued Albert
Bold and his MV Agusta.
