Let’s Start With a conversation
We all want something a little different from our bike. You might want a bike that feels ready to sprint out of corners, others want a bike that eases into each curve. That’s we start each custom bike frame build with a conversation with you.
What do you want your bike to feel like? How do you want the bike to feel as you ride it? What are the unique needs of your body that you need a bike to reflect? We’ll walk through all of this and more as we build a bike that’s for you and you alone.
Not sure where to start?
Take a look at our four bike frames and find something that speaks to you. Whether you’re ready to rip down a gravel lane, tackle some single track, or roll through town, we’ve got a bike frame that serves as your blank canvas.
Design and Planning
After conversations about where and how you ride your bike, we’ll finalize the specifics and complete the CAD design work. Then a commercial printer creates a full-scale print of the bike, including all relevant measurements and angles. I lay the drawing out on a fixture table and cut all the tubing to fit
Beginning Frame Assembly
I place the tubes for the front half of the bike in the frame fixture, which holds everything firmly and accurately in place and has scales and degree references machined into it. I then finish all the welds on the front of the bike
Rear Triangle Construction
After welding the front half, I cut and bend the tubing for the seat stays (tubes that extend from the seat tube to the rear wheel) and chain stays (tubes that run roughly parallel to the chain from the rear wheel to the bottom bracket). I weld the stays to the brace, making two more small sub-assemblies
Precision Alignment
The chain stay assembly is placed in a custom-made fixture and clamped into my milling machine. This holds everything solidly while I cut the ends to make it fit perfectly to the rest of the bike. The same process is done with the seat stay assembly, using another custom-designed fixture
Final Frame Welding
The chain stay and seat stay assemblies are placed in the frame fixture and welded in place. Welding the sub-assemblies in this specific order reduces warping and drawing, allowing for perfectly aligned frames with little to no post-weld alignment necessary. This creates a stronger, more durable bicycle
Custom Details
After removing the frame from the fixture, I braze on small parts such as water bottle cage mounts, rack and/or fender mounts, head tube reinforcing rings, reinforcements around holes for cables or wires, and any other custom mount points requested by the customer
Mechanical finishing
I then ream, face, and tap all the important parts of the bike, getting it completely ready mechanically before moving on to paint
Paint and Finish
The bikes are painted in-house with the customer's chosen color. Typically, I use an automotive-style three-stage paint process consisting of primer, base color, and clear coat
Final Assembly
After painting and curing, I install the headset bearings and fork, bolt in the through axles, and put the seat post clamp on. This frameset can be shipped out ready for you to complete the build of your dreams or I can build the bike with everything and ship out a complete bike.
