We first met Alex years ago in Berlin at the end of a trade show. He had just decided to have a bicycle built by a frame builder, a significant choice for many reasons: time, money, and above all, passion, which is by far the most demanding investment.
The connection between the rider and the builder is never something to take lightly. Especially when, like Alex, you have a clear vision of what your relationship with the bike should be.
Choosing a custom frame reveals a cyclist’s passion and intent. Some people leave everything in the expert hands of the builder, while others come with precise ideas they can’t wait to see come to life. Like many creative and technical endeavours, this process requires patience and trust; the trust to hand over a creation we’ve long dreamed of, forming a creative agreement; a partnership of intent, both technical and emotional.
