A cycle frame is the foundation of a bike. Material, geometry and fit influence everything from handling feel to comfort over distance. At The Custom Bicycle Company we supply cycle frames for riders who want to build something individually, not simply buy from a catalogue list. You can order frame only, rolling chassis prepared for home assembly or a complete bicycle built with your chosen components from the first bolt to the final detail.
​
We specialise in cycle frames for riders who enjoy involvement. You can decide material, paint, components, wheel behaviour and riding feel. Some choose a fast gravel setup with wide tire clearance and tubeless tyres. Others want a bike built for playful singletrack or an enduro steed for steep technical ground. Some want a comfortable endurance road bike for high mileage weekends. Every bike begins with the frame and we help you choose the right one.
​
Cycle frames should not limit you. They should reflect you.
Cycle frame materials and how they change the way a bike rides
Material choice defines the character of a frame and every material brings its own strength and sensory personality.
​
• Carbon cycle frames for efficiency and power
Fast, responsive and ideal for performance riding where speed matters.
​
• Steel cycle frames for flow and natural trail feel
Comfortable with subtle flex and perfect for long off road rides.
• Titanium cycle frames for lifetime performance
Smooth, corrosion resistant and chosen by riders who want to buy once.
​
We guide you through geometry numbers, stack, reach, wheelbase, head angle and fork pairing so the frame suits your riding style not the average consumer. Fit is as important as material and choosing correctly changes every mile you ride.
Frame only supply, rolling chassis or full custom cycle builds
A cycle frame is a starting point. You decide how far we take it.
​
You may choose:
​
• frame only for self built projects
• frame with fork or hardware
• rolling chassis prepared for home completion
• full custom build with every component selected intentionally
​
Full builds often begin around £5000 depending on parts, wheels and finishing. We use components that match your riding goals so you do not buy parts twice or upgrade immediately. You can supply components yourself or ask us to source everything from the drivetrain to finishing kit.
​
A cycle frame gives you potential. A custom build gives you the result.
Custom cycle frame paint and finish options without voiding warranty
A frame may ride beautifully but paint is what makes it yours. We offer custom paint for cycle frames including carbon, steel and titanium with no warranty risk when the frame is supplied through us. From subtle matte finishes and single colour gloss to bold multi tone artwork or logo redesign we finish frames slowly and carefully by hand.
​
Paint normally starts at about £1000 depending on complexity. However we offer a great discount when purchasing a frame. Fine line detail or multi layer graphics may exceed this. Most projects require four to five weeks with optional rebuild so the frame returns as a complete ready to ride bike.
​
Your bicycle should look like no one else’s. Paint is where individuality becomes visible.

Your next cycle frame begins with conversation
If you want more than a stock bicycle you can begin with a cycle frame and build outward from there.

We help convert that into real geometry, real materials and a bike made for your riding not for the market average.
