Made to measure, handmade and fully customisable. The Adventure Collection is based around the concepts of exploration, multi-day adventures and pushing personal limits. It has arisen to remove the overwhelming process of ordering a bespoke build while keeping the artisanal framebuilding craft alive.

The collection consists of the ANTUR, ELAN and NOMAD. A range of made to measure road, gravel and bikepacking framesets that have been inspired by the riding, environments and landscapes found throughout Wales. The frames are built to order to the customers requirements and body measurements. 

 
 
 

“I found the fully bespoke framebuilding order process to be slow and quite often daunting as the choices and possibilities are endless. The collection has arisen to remove the frustrations and overwhelming aspects of the process but still celebrates and keeps the handmade artisanal craft alive. The 3 base models act as a blank canvas for customers to create their dream bike on.”

Features

 

Made to measure

The frames are based on rider body measurements and riding position that is taken at the bike fit session. Not only does a properly fitted frame improve rider comfort and performance but it also means any previous injuries can be taken into consideration when designing the frame. 

Built to Order

Each frame is built to the customers specs and requirements.For example If you wanted internal cable routing with a T47 bottom bracket or if you were after more cargo points throughout the frame then this is all possible. This allows the rider to customize the frame to their preferred setup.

Colour

There are 7 colour choices for the frames. These colours have been inspired by the natural environments and landscapes found throughout Wales.

However, I appreciate these may not be to everyone's taste so I also offer a custom paint service where we work together to produce a unique paint scheme based around hobbies, inspirations and interests.
