Custom Bicycle Build Consultation/Deposit

Interested in building a custom bicycle from the frame up? Looking to restore an old bike or upgrade your current one? If you have a vision for your dream bike, we want to help you make it a reality. With our knowledge, experience, and expertise, we can guide you through the process and help you achieve your goals.

We will assist you in defining your vision, navigating the process of selecting and acquiring parts, coordinating with our vendors to secure the components, and building the bike to your exact specifications. With access to frames and parts from all the major manufacturers, the possibilities are endless.

Step 1: Schedule the Consultation

The first step is to schedule a Custom Build Consultation, which includes a one-hour meeting either over the phone or in person. During the consultation, we'll help you clarify your needs and develop a plan and vision for the project. Afterward, we'll create a build sheet that includes a complete estimate for parts and labor. The consultation fee covers the cost of our time and effort in preparing the estimate. If you decide to move forward with the build, we'll credit the consultation fee toward the total cost of the project.

Step 2: Green Light the Project

Once we agree on a build plan and you give us the green light, we'll proceed with the project. This phase includes acquiring the necessary parts and building the bike to your specifications, while making any adjustments needed due to parts availability or other considerations. A deposit, as outlined in the build plan, will be required before this phase begins.

Communication is Key

We have successfully used this process for many custom Surly, Tanglefoot, and other custom bicycle builds. Good communication and collaboration are crucial for the success of these projects. We also recognize that patience and flexibility are important, as parts availability and delivery schedules can be unpredictable. We will keep you informed of the project's progress every step of the way and do everything possible to complete your project as quickly as possible.
