Custom made bikes

Post by peanut »

Hi all,

I'm looking for a person or place with the knowhow to make a frame with custom specifications.

Please give me a shout if you do.

Cheers!

Dave Yates built a frame for me & I love it to bits. An older & very experienced maker.

Other good frame builders are available.

It depends where you are, there are frame builders in many parts of the UK.

Another vote for Woodrup, I've had 2 frames built by them, very helpful and good quality product.

If you state what sort of thing you're looking for, I don't doubt we'd be able to help you narrow it down to builders who focus on your particular requirements.

Dave Yates is ‘bicycle repair man’ here https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topi ... msg2637218

I love my Mercian King of Mercia https://www.merciancycles.co.uk/

Varonha frameworks are much respected I believe https://www.varonha.co.uk/ Though I have no personal experience
