About

We work closely together throughout your project to understand your needs, discuss ideas, and bring your bike to reality.

Nothing is rushed here.

Each frame is built by hand with uncompromising attention to detail.

Process

Throughout the process from initial discussion to final delivery we will collaborate with each other to produce a bike that is truly fit and personal to you.


  • Pick your model and preferred build kit here

    We’ve curated a range of models and build kits that we think you’ll love.

    Whether you’re a roadie, gravel grinder or a bikepacker we have a model to suit your style.

    Not sure what you’re after? Just get in touch here.


  • Give us a call, visit the studio or send us a message.

    You tell us what you’re after and we will make it happen.

    Each of our models are tailor made to suit your needs and specs.

    From the discussion we will send over a detailed quote.

    If you are happy to proceed we ask for a 50% deposit to begin the process.


  • We don’t do stock sizes here. Each build is made to measure and designed around your measurements.

    Our local bike fitters, Cyclopaedia, will tailor the fit to ensure comfort and performance.

    Have existing fit data? We can work with this too.


  • Fabrication and the craft of your frame will take place.

    I put my heart and soul into every build that is made out to ensure quality is to the highest standard.

    Follow along with the build journey via our Instagram page.


  • The hardest decision.

    Each build comes with a single colour + logos in second colour as standard.

    We also offer a paint design service based on your passions & interests to really make your build standout.

    Find out about the paintwork service here.


  • We prep and assemble the bike in house so when you collect the bike it’s ready to ride away.

    Final payment for your build will need to be paid before collection.

Artist Statement

As a bicycle framebuilder, I believe that the bicycle should be a functional tool that can be used on a daily basis. It is not just a recreational object, but a means of transportation that can improve your quality of life. I strive to create bicycle frames that are not only beautiful, but also practical and durable, so that they can be used for years to come.

In a world where technology dominates, I believe that certain products need to remain human and tactile. I’m always attracted to how we interact with analog technology where inputs are physical and deliberate.

I implement these beliefs into my work by using ‘hand and file’ building methods to produce the frames and consciously choose to build with steel which is very durable and can be repaired if ever needed. These beliefs are also carried across to the components as these have all been chosen for their build quality, durability and serviceability.

Each frame that I create is a collaborative and involved effort between the customer and myself. I work closely with each customer to understand their specific needs and preferences, and I use this information to create a bicycle that is a true reflection of the owner. I believe that this collaborative process is essential in creating a product that is not only functional, but also personal and meaningful.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to craftsmanship and quality. I do not believe in cutting corners or compromising on quality. My goal is to create a product that is built to last and that will bring joy to its owner for years to come
