Frameforum is a site dedicated to the art and craft of the handmade bicycle. It’s about the people who make them; it’s about the people who ride them.
Frameforum is the place to be if you’re considering "the custom alternative" – a bike that gives you everything the 'off-the-shelf ' bikes don’t.
Call it "custom’" ; call it "su misura" ; call it "bespoke" ; call it "vélo sur mesure" ; call it what you will. A "made-to-measure’" bike is more than just a paint job. A good made-to-measure bike will fit you like no other stock bike can. It can be as individual as you are; it can suit your particular style of riding, your particular needs and be built from a material that suits you, not the coffee stop crew.
A custom bike isn’t about shaving grams for bragging rights; it’s about you and your builder considering every aspect of the bike. The process starts with finding the best dimensions , followed by designing and building the frame, right through to specifying the last spoke in the wheels. It’s about you, not Mr or Ms. Average.
Added to that, Frameforum is a place to gather for those who build, or aspire to build, custom bikes. In the forum section, you’ll find members embarking on their first steps in framebuilding as well as some of the greats of the framebuilding game; iconic builders making iconic bikes. If you want to ask questions and get answers on frame building from the folks who actually build them, this is the place.
In short; if handmade bicycles are your thing - whether rider, collector or creator - make Frameforum your first port of call! |

The event drew a knowledgeable and appreciative crowd of bike fans from all over Europe and beyond. The display of bike-building talent was superb, as was the venue.

 With one month to go, all exhibitor spaces for the first European Handmade Bicycle Exhibition have been snapped up, outstripping all expectations.
The show will be held in Schwäbisch Gmünd, a picturesque town near Stuttgart in Southern Germany, on the 8th - 10th May.
EHBE will bring the best of Europe's bicycle builders.
The show hopes to create similar levels of public interest as that generated by the highly successful North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS) in the USA.
Indra Sarkar, of organizers 2Souls Cycles, said :
“When we first proposed the show last April, we expected a healthy response, but we did not expect the kind of response we have seen from all parts of Europe and beyond. At first, we booked a smaller hall in the expo centre, but after a few months we had to go back to the centre management and ask them to allocate us some more floor space. By December, we had booked every spare meter of space! There is no more room, but if it was available, we could fill it, such is the high level of interest from would-be exhibitors.”
The UK will be represented by 18Bikes, Demon Frameworks and Enigma Titanium, with their custom 'Lab' series.
From the USA come Independent Fabrication, Seven and MSH1 Bicycle Works.
Italy is represented by the likes of De Rosa, Pegoretti, Passoni, Nevi and Daccordi.
From the Netherlands come Vittorio, Le Cadre and Duell.
Germany is represented by the likes of Norwid, Langenberg and trendsetters Fixie Inc.
There will be components from SRAM and Schlumpf, Swiss manufacturers of innovative gearing systems. Website : EHBE ---------- |

 Frameforum first went online 5 years ago today, on April 7th, 2004!
Since then, its been attacked, jacked and hacked - but it's still here - and still going strong!
The look may have changed and people come and go, but it's still THE place for all things framebuilding.
Stick around!
Here's to the next 5 years!

 The eyes of custom bike aficionados the world over will be firmly fixed on California this weekend.
This weekend sees the doors opening on the inaugural San Diego Custom Bike Show.
The SDCBS will bring together some of America's finest framebuilders to a city which could quite rightly lay claims to being the hotbed of the US framebuilding scene.
From the opening of the legendary Masi California workshops in the early '70's (situated a bike ride away in neighbouring Carlsbad), to the present-day workshops of the San Diego Framebuilders Co-operative and the finishing studios of world-renowned painter Joe Bell, San Diego craftsmen and women have defined American framebuilding over the last half-century.
