Frame prices include a mix of tubing to meet your ride requirements along with single color powder coating for a durable finish. I use tubing from Columbus (Italy), Deda (Italy) , Reynolds (UK) and possibly True Temper (USA) or Vari-Wall (USA) depending on inventory. I often mix tubing within the same build to get the perfect ride characteristics. If you’re looking for something special, let’s discuss it! I always add a bit of flair to each frame to suit the rider including custom brazed-on badges or other details. I have several sets of vintage (70’s-80’s) Reynolds 531, Columbus (Max OR and Max) and Ishiwata tubing that would build into a beautiful responsive lugged frameset. Wet paint is available as an upcharge. Wet paint offers more color and design options, protects the underlying steel better and shows off the frame design elements more clearly but also costs considerably more and takes a little longer.
Extra braze-ons, internal cables, carved lugs and other fancy bits are no problem but may cost extra. Full bike prices depend on build kit and other add-ons. I can purchase from many suppliers and offer great build kit pricing to complement your new custom frameset.
Each frameset has a lifetime warrantee. The lifetime is mine. Once I’m gone, the warrantee expires.
Deposit for frameset is $350 and will hold your spot in the queue. In general, no parts or materials will be purchased until your bike is #3 or #4 in the queue. At that point, I start purchasing materials and scheduling. The exception is complete custom bikes that have special parts or material requirements. I may start sourcing items immediately depending on what is required and we will discuss funding for those purchases at that time.
Deposits are refundable but I withhold 10% to cover transaction fees, and shipping and other paid expenses. Any materials or components that have been purchased will be returned to you upon upon cancellation.
