FAQs

All our current frames are made of steel. Each of our frames has a custom mix of steel tubing with each tube picked for its specific purpose. Our tubing mostly comes from Reynolds and Columbus and as we’re not tied to a specific tubeset or manufacturer, this allows us to choose the best tube for job. This makes our frames a little more expensive but ensures we make the best frame we can.

Absolutely not. The advances in the production of steel over the past few years has been amazing and when you consider that the wall thickness of some of the tubes we use is less than half a millimetre thick, that should give you an idea of how lightweight steel frames can be. Add in the ride characteristics, durability and repairability of steel, it’s easy to see why we think modern steel is the best material for our frames.

A range of colour and graphic options are shown on the paint and graphics page. Custom colours and paint schemes are also possible, just give us a call to discuss – we’re always up for the challenge!

Leveret model is only available in the colour Lightning metallic grey.

We’ve been building bespoke frames by hand since 2003 and can offer custom frames alongside our production range of hand-built frames and forks.

We specialise in building in steel and can tailor any build to meet your needs using tubing from Reynolds, Columbus, True Temper, Tange and Dedacciai – and due to higher volume production, we have access to tube-sets not readily available to other builders.

Our lead-time on custom frames depends how busy we are at the time, but we aim to keep delivery time to a minimum, ideally somewhere around 16 weeks – and much quicker if you require a custom size or modification based on one of our production frames.

We are very experienced building road, cyclocross, touring and mountain bikes, with particular expertise in 29er mountain bikes, Rohloff equipped frames and expedition off-road tourers. You can see some of our previous work on our Flickr pages to get a feel of the type of work we do.

Please get in touch to discuss your custom frame project.

We’re based in Coventry West Midland. For more details, please view our contact page.

Sure, however, we’re a very busy operation so please call ahead and let us know you’d like to visit. That way we can ensure we have time to see you – and give us time to buy biscuits and do the hoovering!

Our frames are fabricated in our workshop in Nottinghamshire by our Welder Gavin who has his own fabrication workshop. Bicycles are assembled either at our workshop in Coventry or at our second site in Redditch north Worcestershire.

Our paint process is done by Matthew Sutton in Wednesbury West Midlands.

We’ve been building steel bicycle frames since 2003.

No, but we are keen to get involved with interesting events either as sponsors or organisers. If you have an idea, just let us know.

We build and supply full bikes, but can provide a frameset (and headset) for you, or your local bike shop, to complete the build.

Leveret model is only available in the colour Lightning metallic grey.

Whilst our focus is on our production range, we also build full custom made to measure bespoke bikes. Contact us for details.

Of course! Just make sure to tell us when you place your order.

All of our frames have a 5 years ‘normal use’ warranty. If any of our frames fail in normal use, we’ll repair or replace the frame at any point as long as the frame is still with the original owner.  Note all our frames are treated with an internal “frame saver” spray type cavity wax to protect from corrosion.  As with all steel framed bicycles, you should follow an annual maintenance schedule where the internal wax is reapplied during servicing to ensure your beautiful bike has a long life.

We offer a full repair service or in some circumstances will offer a discounted replacement frame.
