Frame fit



Proper fit is essential when it comes to a bike that is comfortable and easy to ride. If you are interested in a frame or complete bike, please have a look at the drawing below. It shows the two measurements that we like to use as a starting point when discussing fit.

saddle height: The red dimension is the distance from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the saddle. This is a dimension that is very easy to modify so most people have it set perfectly for themselves.

compartment: The blue dimension is measured from top of the saddle to the point where the handlebar intersects with the stem. When you report this measurement it's important to talk how you'd like it to change: discuss where you'd like your bars to be, for example, relative to where they are now.

If you can, please use a bike that you currently ride comfortably and measure those two dimensions before you contact us. That goes for complete bikes as well.




The first step in ordering a frame is to
take these measurements from a bike you currently ride
