CUSTOM
:: Handcrafting the ideal metal into the ultimate bicycle.
Applying expert knowledge and
precision craftsmanship to state-of-the-art materials, the
professionals at Ti Cycles build each custom frame with one goal
in mind: to fit the customer perfectly. Expertly designed,
beautifully finished, Ti Cycles offers the ultimate ride.
Why Custom Build?
Like fingerprints, snowflakes and many other precious things, no
two cyclists are identical. There are as many physiques, riding
styles and expectations of performance as there are riders.
Commuting, competing, riding for fitness and fun, bombing down a
trail hopping over rocks and roots; each cyclist has specific
needs for his or her bike. With this in mind, Ti Cycles draws on
decades of frame building and cycling experience to design
bicycles that meet those challenges.
Each custom frame starts with a thorough examination of the
rider's physical dimensions. In cycling parlance, this is called
Fit. The fit is fine-tuned through a builder/rider
feedback loop, taking the concerns of both comfort and
performance expectations into consideration. Via a customized
combination of angles, tube lengths, tube diameters and wall
thicknesses, Ti Cycles translates fit into a frame that
compliments rather than challenges the rider, allowing them to
take advantage of their unique skills, perform efficiently and
ride in comfort.
The Pursuit of Perfection.
From an initial consultation through the processes of design,
fabrication, alignment and finishing, Ti Cycles' attention to
detail produces a consistently high quality, responsive bicycle.
We believe our products to be the best available anywhere in the
world.
Materials.
Light, strong, durable and resilient, Titanium is a superior
frame material. It delivers a comfortable ride without
sacrificing efficiency. This results in a rigid feel, excellent
shock absorption and outstanding adhesion to the road or trail.
Ti Cycles' Chrome-Moly frames are built with the same
uncompromising attention to detail as our flagship titanium
bikes. Today's cutting-edge alloys allow for a degree of fine
tuning and performance previously impossible. From our Hyak and
Local Hero production frames to our custom builds, Ti Cycles
offers the ultimate bicycle frame in a traditional material.
Carbon fiber stays are now an option on custom TiCycles steel
and titanium road frames. Please contact us for details.
For custom road bikes, Ti Cycles offers several styles of frame
construction:
* The Standard: Otherwise known as a double diamond
frame, the heart of cycling tradition.
* The Ultralight: Ti Cycles' solution for riders looking
for the ultimate titanium bike.
* The TCBB: Ti Cycles' time trial bike, utilizing a large
down tube of welded plate titanium and a Softride classic beam.
Customer Satisfaction.
Some purchases are about a whole new level of experience. The
staff at Ti Cycles is passionate about cycling, and expects
every customer to enjoy the experience of purchasing a Ti Cycles
bicycle as much as he or she will enjoy riding the most
exquisitely crafted bicycle on the planet. Customer satisfaction
begins and ends with listening; only through a thorough
understanding of a customer's needs can we craft a bicycle that
will fit, ride and look exactly as desired. It's your bike:
Settle for nothing less than perfection.
Whether you ride on road or off, race or cruise, tour or
commute, solo or in tandem, Ti Cycles has the experience to
create the perfect bicycle for you. |
