“most comfortable bikes I have ever owned”

“I met Tom at the Bespoke Bike Show, where I saw a really eye-catching rim brake bike with a dropper seat post (pre-Mohorič). I ended up placing an order for an all-round bike that could handle both fast road rides and gravel, depending on the wheelset. Based on my needs, Tom walked me through the fitting process and helped specify the tubing required. The result was an amazing Columbus XCR frameset with a carbon ISP seat post. It’s one of the most comfortable bikes I have ever owned, and we’ve conquered many, many cols in France. Steel is truly real!”

Customer Review, Ernie

The Ordering Process

Whilst every bicycle is fully bespoke, the ordering process will follow a specific timeline and involve a number of steps. This ensures that your bicycle will suit everything you need, and enable us to take the measurements we need when building your frame.
