Craft Bikes introduces the CANTII — its first stock geometry frame and a quiet evolution in the brand’s pursuit of refined, enduring performance. Until now, Craft Bikes has worked exclusively within the language of custom geometry. Each frame individually conceived, shaped, and finished for a single rider. The CANTII marks a considered expansion of that philosophy — bringing the same level of craft and attention to detail into a more accessible, standardised platform, without compromise.
CANTII takes its name from the ancient tribe who once inhabited Kent. The Cantii were among the earliest known settlers of the region, recognised for their trade networks, early coinage, and connection to continental Europe.
A name rooted in place — and in continuity. Form, refined.
The CANTII is offered in three sizes — Small, Medium, and Large — each proportioned to preserve the calm, balanced ride quality that defines the brand. Every frame is still hand-built in the Craft workshop by founder James, retaining the same construction methods, detailing, and titanium-first ethos that underpin all Craft Bikes products. Signature 3D-printed yokes and dropout systems remain central to the design, ensuring both precision and durability at every junction.
