For the most discriminating and demanding of cyclists, or for cyclists whose physical attributes and natural cycling position require more size options than available on stock factory frames, we offer -- and highly recommend -- custom-built bicycle frames.

COMPLETE (not just framesets!) CUSTOM BIKES FROM UNDER $3,000

Cycle Sports offers truly affordable complete custom bike solutions. Before, many riders wrote off their interest or desire for a custom bike due to unreachably high prices. Not anymore.

Now, Cycle Sports is proud to offer high quality, complete custom bicycles at priced similarly to off-the-shelf, non-custom bikes. Come see us to learn more.

A true custom bike frame is one that is made only after the builder has received expert data (which we collect through a thorough fit session) on your physical dimensions, your natural and comfortable cycling position, and the sort of riding you aspire to do with your new bike. The frame builder takes all this information into account, then selects materials, frame dimensions and angles, fabrication methods and even paint/decal options to your liking. The result is a bike frame uniquely designed and produced for one person: YOU.

All Serotta bicycle frames (except the stock-sized Fierte models) are custom built based on your specific measurements and desired ride quality. Similarly, there are many other independent frame builders around the country (many highly reputable ones within the Bay Area region, no less) with whom we can work to produce just the bicycle that promises you years and years of riding fulfillment.

Why Consider Buying a Custom Bicycle Frame?
 

Production (factory) bicycle frames these days come in many sizes, yet, for some, it may make greater sense to have a bike frame built specifically for them. This is particularly true in the following instances:
  • very tall riders
  • short riders
  • unusual proportions (leg to torso, torso to reach, etc.)
  • riders with post-operative or injury considerations
Of course, anybody can order a custom frame if they so desired, even if none of the above applied to them. Why? For the same reasons we would rather be wearing tailored clothing if we knew we'd be wearing them frequently. If you intend to spend significant time on your bicycle, a custom-sized and built frame is the foundation for a bike that will assure you a personal touch and years of comfortable riding.

And when many custom bicycle models are actually priced comparatively to factory models in the same category, one might ask: Why NOT buy a custom bike?
