custom hand-made light-blue bicycle

Fully custom

You simply want something that is just yours

Sometimes, off the shelf isn't enough

Maybe you know what you want, but you can't find it out there. Maybe you have a very specific idea about the components that your ideal bike would have, but you can't find a frame that allows you to use them. This is a completely personalised service, and it starts with an email.

Considerations

Here, your imagination is pretty much the only limit. I can guide you through the options as much as you would like, and I will always offer my opinion for what I know works, but here, it's your bike from start to finish. Here are some of the more practical aspects we'll consider.

Frame built around your standards

We will build your bike from the ground up around your chosen components. You can choose any frame standard for practical or aesthetic reasons.

Tubes to suit your
chosen use

The choice of tubes is critical to make a frame that suits the way you'll use it. We'll work together to make sure that we get this choice right. I work primarily with Columbus tubing, but I pick and choose from other manufacturers as necessary.

A bike built to carry what you want

The braze-ons go a long way to dictate the way you'll use your bike. We'll ensure that the way you use your bike is not limited by the absence of a braze-on.

Aesthetic and fit

Obviously, this bike will be made to measure just for you. And there is a whole world of aesthetic choices to make. Maybe you have a very clear idea, or maybe we'll go though the options together.
