With frame materials and production processes becoming so advanced,one must wonder if there is room for the custom frame builder to competewith major manufacturers. Dotting the map from coast to coast, custom buildersare often individuals working in their garages making one frame at a time.These individuals rarely have home offices to visit, so to get a read what’snew with custom builders, VeloNews visited the 1st Annual HandmadeBicycle Show, held in Houston, Texas, in January.Aftera lap of the show floor, it was evident that these builders favor variety.The 30 craftsmen who went to Houston offered every incarnation of steeland aluminum, along with titanium, carbon and even bamboo. With major manufacturers,frame assembly must follow a specific formula, and in some cases the framesare actually pulled directly out of molds. This keeps down costs and preventsa bike shortage for retailers. And while stock sizes may allow for a bikethat’s good for you, a custom frame can yield a bike that’s perfectfor you.“I am more than happy to fit each rider, as this is part of the customexperience,” said show organizer and builder Don Walker, voicing a philosophyshared by many at the show. “And I will design each frame around a varietyof tubes, based on their measurements, to make the rider have a much bettercomfort factor and improved performance in their riding.”East coast builder Richard Sachs summed it up best during his seminaron framebuilding: “You can make a bike that fits, or one that performswell. To make a good bike you have to overlap fit and performance.”Sachsis considered a master, and if you were to put in an order tomorrow forone of his frames, you likely wouldn’t get your bike for 38 months as heonly builds bikes to race. If you’re looking to tour or just cruise, thislegendary builder isn’t right for you.The show also revealed a level of detail unmatched by larger companies.Titanium framebuilder Darren Crisp articulated this point: “I don’t haveto contend with these big players on sales figures or keep up with thelatest trends. I don’t put time limits on how long it takes to build aframe or how many need to leave the shop on a weekly basis for a salesforecast. I have learned from Italian artisans that to make a great object,you must first throw your watch out the window.”Customers typically talk directly with the custom builder, who willask what they want out of the bike and how they will use it. After pluggingin this data — along with a customer’s measurements — into a knowledgebase and building philosophy, a custom frame builder then designs yourbike — the key word always being “your” bike. The custom builder is notonly a craftsman, but a guide and counselor, and as a craftsman won’t acceptless-than-ace alignment or imperfect welds.Philosophy plays a part in the custom process. If you decide a customframe is in your future, it is highly recommended that you speak with asmany builders as possible. While they’re asking what you want from a bike,ask them what they think a bike should be, and go with the one you feelbest matches what you are looking for.To get a bike that is right for you, it’s also very important to listento your builder once you’ve picked him or her. Almost every exhibitor atthe Houston show shared the horror story of a customer who demanded theydo something they knew in their heart was wrong — producing 78-degree parallelgeometry, for example. In such cases, the customer always winds up hatingthe bike.Despite the relatively high prices for custom bikes, custom buildersaren’t building bikes to get rich — they do it because they truly lovethe craft. Most are cyclists themselves, and say the biggest benefit isseeing the smiling faces of their customers. Carbon-fiber specialist NickCrumpton summed-up the framebuilder’s credo best when he explained, “Mygoal is to ensure that people are happy on their bikes.”If you’re looking for your first bike since you were 10 years old, it’sa sound idea to go with something off the rack. But if you’re to the pointof considering bikes in the $3000-plus range, it might be time to considera custom alternative. It’s likely that when you buy your second or thirdbike, you can get a custom-tailored frame for about the same amount ofcash as a machine-produced frame.
