Choosing a bicycle frame is the first moment your new bike begins to take shape. It defines the ride character, the handling and the way your bike responds when you climb, descend or carve through woodland singletrack, tarmac roads or gravel trails. At The Custom Bicycle Company we supply bicycle frames across the UK from carefully chosen manufacturers that we know bring quality reliability and personality to each build. Brands including Deviate Cycles, Starling Cycles, ENVE Composites and Craft Bikes. Every frame can be purchased as a standalone chassis and you can choose to have us complete a full build to your ideal specification.
​
We specialise in frames for riders who want something more personal than a factory bike. You may be building a long travel enduro machine, a stiff carbon road bike or a smooth titanium gravel frame. You may want the premium finish of ENVE carbon, the instinctive steering feel of Starling steel, the high pivot capability of Deviate or the refined handbuilt detail of Craft Bikes. Our role is to supply frames that fit the way you ride then provide paint and build options that turn them into a finished bike created for you, not chosen from a shelf.
This is where many customers choose us. We can paint every frame we sell without voiding warranty. We offer one to one guidance on sizing, geometry, compatibility, and component selection. You get a tailored bike buying experience rather than navigating it alone.
Approved supplier of Deviate Starling ENVE and Craft bicycle frames
We choose our frame partners carefully because riders deserve quality that lasts, these are the bikes we love riding ourselves. Instead of selling every brand available we focus on those with character engineering credibility and ride feel. Each brand exists for different types of riders and choosing the right one makes the build feel natural from day one.
Deviate Cycles frames are known for suspension efficiency and control with a high pivot layout that grips rough ground confidently. They suit riders who enjoy technical terrain, speed and stability. Starling Cycles approach manufacturing differently using steel simplicity to create frames that respond directly under power with a classic lively feel. Their no nonsense attitude has a strong following and their frames are ideal for riders who value clean engineering and real world durability.
​
ENVE Composites sits at a global scale offering high performance carbon frames and components. These frames are fast responsive and exceptionally refined for riders who chase efficiency and stiffness. Craft Bikes complete the line up with boutique craftsmanship. Their frames suit people who appreciate detail machining elegance and handmade British engineering.
​
As a supplier we can help you compare these frames based on riding style, desired geometry wheel size and material feel. Rather than scrolling through product lists you get personal guidance from someone who paints, builds, rides and understands frame characteristics first hand.
Buy as a standalone bicycle frame or commission a complete custom build
When you purchase a bicycle frame from us you choose the level of involvement you want. Some riders already have parts available and simply need a frame. Others want a rolling chassis with fork, headset and shock ready to complete at home. Many choose a full build where we supply and fit every component from drivetrain to wheels, to finishing kit.
​
You decide how far we take the project. We can install parts you already own, we can design upgrade paths, we can match new components to your riding goals or we can build your bike entirely.
​
Buying the frame through us also means guarantee on compatibility. We check clearance for tyres, brake rotor spacing, chainline, cable routing and are here to help with future maintenance. You do not discover issues mid build because we check them for you.
​
If you want to paint your frame at the same time it becomes a continuous process. We prepare the frame, apply your scheme, assemble parts then ship or you can collect your bike. You get a seamless start to end build rather than coordinating painters, mechanics and shipping yourself.
Custom paint options for all frames supplied without voiding warranty
Painting a bicycle frame can be the difference between owning a bike and feeling connected to it. Many frames arrive factory painted to please the masses. We paint for the individual. That is why customers choose us for ENVE paintwork, for Deviate resprays, for Starling colour changes and Craft finishing. Restoration and full artwork concepts that turn heads at trail centres, roads or races.
​
Because we are approved to paint every frame we supply, your warranty remains safe. If you want just a frame we can ship it custom painted or in a factory finish. If you want a full build we can do that too, we can supply you with everything from a set of pedals to a full custom bike.
​
This is craft, not mass processing. Every frame is handled with care by professionals and finished with attention that reflects the time we invest in the build.

Why choose our bikes rather than buying from other brands?
We build relationships. When buying elsewhere you choose a size, a colour and hit a checkout button. When buying through The Custom Bicycle Company you get the chance to build the bike you imagined rather than one someone else configured.
​
You get warranty-safe custom paint plus real human support. We help you work through geometry choices like fork offset and travel, seat angle, chainstay length and wheel setup, so you’re never guessing or stuck with factory decisions that don’t quite fit.
​
Many riders contact us because they want a frame that feels chosen rather than purchased. With us the process is collaborative. You are not a transaction, you are a project partner.

How does this affect your next bike build?
If you want a bicycle built specifically for you, that suits your riding, your personality and your lifestyle rather than a bike designed to meet the needs of the masses you now know where to start. Whether you need a standalone frame, a full build or a warranty safe repaint you can choose a supplier who builds with you not for everyone.
