The process

Built around you, from frame to finish.

Measure

We start by discussing what kind of bike you have in mind. Do you already have a race bike or a gravel bike? Are you happy with how it rides and fits you? If you wish, we can arrange an appointment with a professional bike fitter.

Design

Based on your wishes and measurements, we draw a detailed CAD design of your new bike. In this phase everything is decided — from frame geometry to bottle cage placement. You can give as much or as little input as you like.

Build

We use a considered selection of Columbus steel tubes, cut and filed to size and brazed together with bronze and silver. We typically pair the frame with a light Columbus or Ritchey carbon fork.

Finish

When it comes to finishing a custom frame, almost anything goes. Colours and components can be chosen from a wide range of possibilities.
