Custom Bike Builds

Bikes · Edinburgh

Your next bike, three ways.

We start with you: your fit, how you ride, and what you want the bike to do. Then you choose how much of it is made for you.

What changes with each route

The more that's made for you, the more of the bike is shaped around your fit.

Not sure which bike to look at?

Frame Finder goes beyond size. We look at your fit, how you ride, and what you want from your next bike, then recommend the frames worth considering. We know a lot of bikes and brands, so you get a straight answer on what to look at, as well as the size to get it in - whichever route you take.

Bespoke

Enigma Signature: a frame made around you

We work closely with Enigma, who make titanium and steel frames by hand in Sussex. Every Signature frame is built to order, so the geometry can follow your body instead of a size chart.

That is where the fit comes in. We measure you in the studio, and your numbers become the drawing Enigma builds from. Then we build it up here, set to the position we found.

Working with another frame builder?

Enigma is the custom builder we work with, but there are many more. Frame Finder gives you the fit data to take to the builder you choose. It looks at how the bike should handle as well as your position, which is what custom geometry needs.

Custom Build

Start from a frame. Build it your way.

Pick a frameset in the size your fit points to, from Enigma (Signature in stock sizes, or the quicker Ready to Ride range), Ridley, or BMC, then choose everything that hangs off it. Your fitter already knows your saddle height, reach, and bar width, so the parts are chosen from measurements, not guesswork.

Have a frame from another brand in mind? Ask us. If we can get the full frame, we can build it.

How a build comes together

Bespoke or Custom Build, the order is the same.

STEP 1

Talk it through

What you ride, where, how far, and what you want the new bike to do better than the old one.

STEP 2

Find your frame

A Frame Finder session measures your fit and looks at how you ride and what you're aiming for. We'll recommend which frame to look at, as well as which size.

About Frame Finder →

STEP 3

Spec it together

Frame, groupset, wheels, and contact points, chosen with your fitter. You'll know what it costs before anything is ordered.

STEP 4

Built and set up

We build it in our workshop and set it to your position, so it fits from the first ride.

Every build is priced to its spec

Frame, material, finish, and parts all move the number, so there isn't one price to print. Tell us what you ride and roughly what you'd like to spend, and we'll come back with options that fit both you and the budget.

Finance and Cyclescheme are both available. Send us a message if you'd like to know more.

Complete Bike

The maker's build, sized and set up for you

We order your bike in, build it, and set it up to your fit, so you ride home on the right size. Cranks, stem, bars, and saddle can be changed at extra cost.

We fit it, build it, and look after it.

Once your bike is built, the workshop keeps it running.
