Craft Bikes are known for handmade detail, engineering precision, material elegance, and a finish that feels personal from the first glance. When you order a Craft bike frame through The Custom Bicycle Company, you are not choosing mass production. You are choosing a bespoke frame made in Britain by the hands of a true craftsman. Built for riders who appreciate design, attention to detail, and the feeling of owning something created for them rather than assembled for the many.
​
We supply Craft frames across the UK with options for frame-only purchase, rolling chassis builds, or a complete custom bike built to your ride style. Every Craft bike frame already comes with a huge choice of logo colours painted in house here at The Custom Bicycle Company, however when you purchase from us you have the option to take that further with full custom paint without voiding any warranty. You also get to choose the geometry, look, and character. We guide you through sizing, finishing options, and the small details that turn a frame into a complete machine. You also get a direct one to one conversation with Craft Bikes to discuss the frame.
​
Craft frames attract riders who want individuality, comfort, and precision without the noise of mass-market branding. They are built with intention. We help you turn that intention into a rideable reality.
Why riders choose a Craft frame over mainstream production bikes
A Craft Bikes frame is for those who value feel as much as performance. Handmade frames respond differently to the rider, transmitting trail feedback with clarity rather than harshness, and encouraging a riding flow that feels connected and alive. Where carbon prioritises stiffness, and aluminium often prioritises efficiency, Craft frames are about balanced sensation, Ti response, and the satisfaction of riding something hand-built.
​
These frames suit riders who enjoy fast and long tarmac roads, singletrack, flowing woodland lines, gravel mileage, and mixed-terrain exploration. The geometry is practical and intuitive, giving stability when needed and agility when conditions demand it. For multi-hour rides, weekend mileage or bike packing journeys, Craft offers comfort without sacrificing control.
​
When you buy through us, we help you pick the right sizing, wheel configuration, and custom build based on terrain, riding style and handling preference. You do not scroll through numbers alone. You discuss them with someone who builds, rides, and understands the interaction between frame and rider.
Order as frame only, rolling chassis, or full one-off custom build
Every rider approaches ordering a Craft Bike differently. Some already have components waiting. Others want the frame supplied and assembled later. Many prefer to go all-in and commission a complete bike built around their personal preference which includes: weight, riding frequency, terrain preference, wheel stiffness choice, and cockpit comfort.
​
You may order your Craft frame as:
​
• frame only
• rolling chassis ready for home assembly
• full custom build with every part selected intentionally
​
Full builds usually begin depending on specification. We work with premium brands for drivetrains, wheels, suspension and finishing kit to build something cohesive rather than assembled from random parts. You may supply your own components or ask us to handle the full spec. The choice is yours.
​
Rather than choosing a fixed build kit, you create one. Nothing is wasted. Nothing feels temporary. You begin with a Craft frame and finish with a bike you ride with pride.
We can also provide recommendations or put together a suggested build to make the process really easy. Not everyone wants the hassle of working out every individual part, so we’re happy to guide you or handle the details for you.
Warranty-safe custom paint and finish options for Craft frames
Paint is where Craft truly becomes personal. Subtle earth tones, deep gloss blacks, metallic gradients, matte pastels, brushed metal detailing, or artwork-level concept work. Our number one choice for painting Titanium is Cerakote, leaving lots of raw Ti on show, but all options are on the table, no two Craft frames ever need to look alike. We are approved to paint the frames we sell, meaning warranty remains safe, structure remains protected, and your frame becomes a one-off expression of you.
​
Every frame is supplied to us raw so you get a choice of standard colours included, but we can take that much further. Additional custom paintwork begins around £600 to £1000+ depending on detail level.
​
This is not a production booth where hundreds of frames pass weekly. This is bespoke paint, careful preparation, masking, application, polishing, checking and finishing. A Craft frame deserves that attention. So does your vision for it.
