Custom bike builds

Pick the frame, groupset, wheels and cockpit, and we'll build it properly. From a Pinarello F to a Cervélo S5, every build is assembled, checked and torqued to spec.

How a custom build works

  1. Plan. We talk through how you ride, your size, your budget and the parts you want, and check that everything is compatible.
  2. Quote. You get a quote for the parts and the build before anything is ordered.
  3. Build. Frame prep, bottom bracket and headset install, groupset, brakes, wheels and cockpit, with everything torqued to spec.
  4. Set up. Shifting and brakes dialed, cockpit set to your position, and a test ride.

The compatibility checklist

Most build headaches come from parts that almost fit. Before we order, we check:

  • Bottom bracket standard (threaded or press-fit) and crank spindle
  • Headset and steerer, and whether the cockpit routes cables internally
  • Brake type and rotor sizes, axle standards and wheel spacing
  • Tire clearance for the width you want
  • Groupset, wheels and power meter compatibility

Recent shop builds

Recent builds on our Instagram include a Pinarello F in the Q36.5 Edition colorway with a carbon disc rear wheel, and a Cervélo S5 in Five Black. Want one like it, in your size? Ask for a quote.

Upgrades, too

Not a full build? We also install groupsets, wheels, power meters, chainrings, saddles and cockpits on your current bike, and upgrade mechanical bikes to Di2 or AXS.

Price: quote on inspection.
