The process starts with a Bikefit and for us to understand your goals, cycling needs, your riding style and how cycling fits into your lifestyle. Once we figure out the bikefit, we start with the frame design after you place the deposit for the frame, if you decide to purchase. The bikefit will be 50% off, and you can use the measurements on all your bikes aka it's transferrable(if they are the right size).
Custom frames are meant to fit you perfectly like a custom tailored suit. The geometry, ride characteristics and handling can be altered and tuned to create a perfect ride for you. Tube selection (diameter and butting, balance of frame weight and stiffness) and geometry plays a big part, and of course the finish works on how the frame looks. Basically we are looking to make a frame tailored for you only. This is our specialty as we understand bikefit, cycling and engineering, hence with our knowledge, we are sure we can drive a design for you.
Our goal is to make sure the frame fits you perfectly, based on your bikefit. We serve as a link for the frame makers to understand our client's needs better, since they have literally no interaction with you. Gone are the days where you make a custom frame just by submitting physical measurements. It doesn't work (well at all).
Once you receive your new frame and set up base on the components that have been recommended from the initial fit, we will do a final fit to ensure everything is in place.
