If you are happy with your current bike position and have always wanted a truly custom built bicycle, this service allows you to develop a frame designed specifically around your body, riding style, goals and preferences.

 

Unlike most production bikes, a custom frame is not restricted by standard sizing, pre-determined geometry or generic design priorities. Every aspect of the bike can be considered in relation to how and where you ride, what you want the bike to feel like, and the characteristics that matter most to you.

 

Even many hand-built bicycles are still produced in stock sizes with limited adjustment to the underlying design. Sometimes this works well. Sometimes compromises remain. A fully custom approach allows far greater freedom to create a bicycle that is genuinely tailored to the rider rather than adapted from an existing template.

 

The process begins with a detailed discussion and assessment of your current setup, your riding history, equipment preferences and what you want the bike to achieve. Existing bike measurements and rider position will be reviewed before discussing geometry, handling characteristics, tyre clearance, component choices, intended use and overall ride feel.

 

Often there are important considerations riders have simply never been made aware of. Part of the process is helping you understand how different design decisions influence comfort, stability, handling, responsiveness and long-term usability.

 

Following the consultation, a complete custom frame design will be produced based around your requirements. You can either take the drawings and work directly with a frame builder of your choosing, or, if required, I can liaise with the builder on your behalf throughout the process.

 

The objective is simple. To create a bicycle that is designed specifically for you, without unnecessary compromises, and built to deliver exactly the riding experience you want from it for many years to come.
