Custom
A bike tailored to you
Not every rider fits an off the shelf bike. You might need a mini velo for city riding, a cargo bike for carrying kids or gear, a Rohloff hub for low maintenance touring or a custom wheel build with a dynamo light for long adventures. You may be planning a bikepacking setup, an all terrain touring rig or a versatile bike that simply does not exist as a production model. Sometimes you want a bike that feels personal and built with intention.

Planning your build
Custom builds are collaborative. When you contact us, we begin by gathering the key information about your riding style, preferences, intended use, budget and any parts or frames you already have in mind. If you are chasing a particular look or purpose, this is where we work through it together.
Our team has extensive experience with cargo builds, mini velos, Rohloff systems, dynamo wheels, gravel and touring setups plus purpose built commuter bikes. Every decision is guided so the result feels like your ideal bike, not a compromise.Once we have enough detail, we prepare a proposed specification list and an itemised quote. Bikes can seem simple, but the fine details matter. Our experience helps avoid incompatible components and ensures every part supports you and how you aim to ride the bike.
Fit
We can work from a test ride, measurements or an existing bike. We also accept professional fit data if you have already seen a physio or bike fit specialist. Fit varies with purpose, and our team has deep experience across commuting, gravel, touring, long distance road riding and off road adventures. We will align positioning with your chosen method of riding.
Deposit
Once you are happy with the specification list, we take a 50 percent deposit and begin sourcing parts. Most components are already in store however, any items that need to be ordered will be ordered immediately. For any items that may take longer than a week, we will let you know. Please consider this if your build is required by a certain date or for an event.
The Build
As soon as we have the required parts, building will commence. This process tends to be fairly quick, as we're excited by custom builds! Your frame will be prepared appropriately and components will be installed. We'll test ride the bike to ensure it's functioning as it should but we'll wait until you've test ridden it before the final adjustments. This is to prioritise your comfort and to make sure you're 100% happy with the build.
After your build
New bikes settle in over the first few weeks and your bike may require some refining. We recommend a first service within the first month or two. This is complimentary and ensures everything continues to run smoothly before your next block of riding.
