Custom bicycle builds
Are you frustrated by the search for a bike that perfectly fits your unique needs? If you're looking for a specific wheelset, handlebar style, or load-carrying capacity, finding the right off-the-shelf option can be challenging. That’s where I come in—together, we’ll design a bike that reflects your personal style and riding preferences.

​
Collaborative Design Process
The journey to your custom bike starts with a conversation. When you contact me, we’ll discuss what you’re looking for, your riding habits, budget, and any particular components you have in mind. This information will help us create a tailored specification list that captures your vision. You’re welcome to share inspiration, including links to builds you love from Instagram. Additionally, I offer the option to source quality used parts or combine old and new components for a more budget-friendly build.
​
Detailed Planning for Your Custom Build
Designing a custom bike involves thorough planning, often taking as much time as the assembly itself. During our initial discussions—whether in-person, via phone, or email—I’ll ask about your riding style, preferences, and any design ideas you might have. Your input is invaluable, and if there’s a specific look or functionality you’re after, this is the time to let me know.
With all this information, I’ll compile a detailed specification list that includes a quote. Although bicycles may seem simple, the complexities are in the details. It’s not uncommon to encounter compatibility issues or ill-fitting parts, even with extensive research. My expertise allows me to sidestep these potential pitfalls, ensuring every component is not only compatible but also perfectly suited to your riding style.
​
Ensuring the Perfect Fit
Achieving the right fit is essential for your comfort and performance. I’ll evaluate your fit based on measurements, comparisons with your current bike, or fit data from professionals if available. Whether you’re commuting, touring, or exploring gravel paths, I’ll customize the fit to suit your needs.
​
The Assembly Process
Once we finalize the specification list, a 50% deposit will be requested to kick-start the sourcing of your components. Most parts typically take about a week to arrive, and I’ll keep you informed about their expected delivery times. After receiving all the components, I’ll assemble your bike with precision, ensuring every detail is attended to.

​
Care After Assembly
After your custom bike is ready, I recommend a complimentary first service after about a month or two. This allows for any necessary adjustments once everything has settled. Even if it seems perfect, I like to check that everything is functioning as it should.
