5 years ago, our designer, Ken Aoi, hoped to own an unique bike; this is the beginning of AOI. CYCLE. Ken Aoi saw there forms a beautiful curve on riders backs when they are riding bikes. AOI.CYCLE’s prototype occurred to him. He decided to change the traditional style of geometric diamond-shaped structure and apply this unique curve to bike design. In order to let people ride bikes more elegantly, he innovatively created the design that omits the seat tube. AOI. CYCLE choose to adopt stainless steel SUS304 which is rarely used to make bikes. It does not use paint coating and every tube needs to be ground and polished by hand. This allows AOI.CYCLE to present its unique metal gloss. www.aoicycle.com

Over almost a century and a half, Brooks England has grown from a small workshop to a byword in quality craftsmanship. Back in 1865, John Boultbee Brooks left his hometown of Hinckley in Leicestershire with just £20 in his pocket. On 28 October 1882, Mr Brooks filed his first saddle patent.

cielo (evolution imports)

Chris began fabricating steel road racing and touring frames from his small shop in Santa Barbara, CA. While many Cielo frames were sold to individual clients and bore the Cielo marque, the majority of Chris’ work was done for racing teams. Many Cielo frames were raced in the United States under the names of several prominent manufacturers and pedaled by some of the day’s most notable racers. While Chris’ specialty at the start was 700c road bikes he would go on to produce several models of mountain bikes and in the process, discover a new market. A market that quickly and near unanimously embraced his durable sealed bearing headsets. cielo.chrisking.com

COFA Engineering. Working with CNC & manual machines with the additional services you would expect from an engineering workshop we are well equipped to assist with your project, whether you can’t find the parts that are “quite right” to finish off your custom frame or you need your classic frame restoring then we can help. We modify, adapt & machine from scratch to ensure that you get your idea in your hands.

Run by Gary Woodhouse and Brian Curtis, and they spend most of their time here. Everything is done here in house- the tubing cut, mitred and shaped. The frame jigged and tacked before Brian brazes the frame together into its final shape. Extras like brake mounts, cable stops and gussets are then added. The only thing not done in house is the powdercoating. Frames are mass produced by Gary and Brian at the rate of 1 a day.

columbus - gruppo srl

The story of the most famous steel tubes in the history of cycling began in 1919 when A.L. Colombo founded his steel plant with the ambition to “to do business in iron and steel and make a fair and honest profit,”. The result was the history of cycling as we know it: legendary tube sets AIR, MAX (first tube-set to break the tradition of conventional diameters and introduce concept of orientated ellipses and differentiated sections), SL, SLX, NIVACROM (EL and Genius), Altec, Starship and Spirit right up to the most 2009’s XCR, the world’s first ever tubeless stainless steel tube set which allows for the production of a steel frame competitive (and out-performing in some categories) at the highest level of the sport on all levels: weight (sub-1400g), rigidity, fatigue resistance and of course the remarkably superior handling of steel.

A genuine, grass-roots family affair! DMO stands for ‘Dennis Michael Oliver’, Dennis is Oliver’s Granddad (a retired fabricator and sheet metal worker from Jaguar), Michael is Oliver’s Dad (a retired engineer from BMW) and Oliver is, well, the guy who sticks all the bits together! The frames are manufactured in Olly’s workshop in Chippenham Wiltshire (his own words) “I say workshop – it’s a brick built 8’x6’ shed I like to call a workshop”). Olly’s target is to make 10 frames a year, initially focusing on completely bespoke (no lugs or pre-bent, off the shelf tubing) 29’er mountain bike frames aimed at mountain bikers interested in extending those single day rides into Bike Packing adventures!

limit fabrications

Founded in 2001 by Patrick Banks, Limit Fabrications has gained cult status with BMX fanatics and widespread recognition from riders with a passion for innovation and custom detailing. Selftaught from his 9th birthday when he asked for, and received, his first welding set, Patrick began learning his trade by making three-wheelers. Following many years in the saddle and with his interest in bicycle design not subsiding, he decided to attend the United Bike Institute in Oregon to complete an intensive framebuilding course after which he returned to Norfolk and started Limit Fabrications. Having now ridden for 21 years, Pat needs no introduction to local riders. Already supplying much of the BMX scene, he is fast gaining a following from cyclists of all disciplines keen to test the boundaries of conceptual design and performance.

Bikes say a lot about yourself. Why then should a frame not be every bit as unique as the human being riding it? That’s why I love and build custom frames. I don’t do production runs. I build bespoke bikes, one by one, starting with design and the geometry to fit you like a glove, continuing with a hacksaw, a file, a TIG welder, a pipe bender and finishing everything off with an extensive manual finish and a bolt on headbadge. If I had a say everybody would ride a custom bike.

Merényi Bicycles is a small enterprise which was founded to build bicycles with a method fairly unknown in Hungary. It is our objective to respect and try to meet the needs and demands of the cyclists —who are in search of quality and singularity— already in the process of frame building. In our choice of tubing and technology, we are not bound by piled-up stocks. In the choice of paintwork and ornamentation, there are no fixed designs enforced by executives, moreover, we know and use more colours than red, blue and yellow. As for the rest of the components of the bike, here too, we have the possibility of choosing the best components and accessories offered by the trade. Each and every one of our frames is unique, numbered and built for custom order. We believe that the birth of a bicycle is an adventure we share with our customer.

After three decades on the saddle both as a racer and a race team manager, Stephen recognised titanium as the ‘the material of choice’ for its lightweight attributes, strength and resistance. The only problem was the price. Was it possible to produce a cost-effective titanium frame? After three years of development, perfecting and redesigning and en-listing the skills of Master frame builder Mark Reilly Mustard Bikes have delivered just that – a light but affordable titanium frame.

Four limited edition Sessanta bikes Only 60 made in each material worldwide

STEEL SINCE 1953 For enthusiasts of this noble material, the bike should only be made from steel. De Rosa has 60 years of history in the processing of steel. We know all its virtues and know how to get the best out of it. For this reason, even after 60 years, each steel frame is as cared for as our first.

TITANIUM SINCE 1992 The material. Full stop. To work titanium requires specialist knowledge and skill. This knowledge and skill that De Rosa has developed in almost 20 years makes each frame an aesthetic and performance work of art.

ALUMINIUM SINCE 1996

CARBON SINCE 2000 The reference material for all current frames. Rigid, light, resistant, reactive and comfortable. Carbon fibre is without doubt the present and the future of cycling. De Rosa proposes a blend of hi-modul carbon, the fibres of which are hand-layered in our workshop in Cusano.

Prestige brands from i-ride.co.uk

There are many aluminium alloys that are utilized and in De Rosa we use only the best. Aluminium represents a turning point in frame manufacturing, giving the possibility of developing new frame concepts, thanks to its ductility, lightness and resistance. We truly believe in aluminium.

pegoretti (mosquito) Hidden away in a small workshop in the hills just outside Trento, Italy, Dario Pegoretti creates some of the finest bicycles in the world.

Made to measure Italian bikes in London. Hand-crafted frames in steel, aluminium, carbonfibre and titanium, built one by one by historical Italian masters. Stylish and minimal, our designs are a careful selection of the top quality materials produced and still manufactured in Europe. As part of our projects, we offer professional bike fitting sessions by pro bio-mechanic Giuseppe Giannecchini and hand-built wheelsets by Arup Sen.

Peter’s Bike started not as a business, but as a hobby. I have designed and built bicycles with electric engines, which look like vintage, racing bikes. Besides, I renovate old frames and compose modern, city bikes.

rattleCAD is a bicycle construction software and has been proved to be an extremely useful and powerful tool. It offers a graphical and parameterized configuration of the bicycle frame and delivers a geometrical depiction of the frame as well as a mock-up of the whole assembled bike. The software generates tube miter drawings of all main tubes, which simplifies the workmanship. “rattleCAD” is an Open Source project with more than 26,000 downloads of various program versions from http://sourceforge.net

restrap

Restrap products are made by cyclists, for cyclists. Riding is what we do. When it all began, we were spending our summers tackling the hills of West Yorkshire, putting our bikes and ourselves to the test. We passed - our bikes didn’t. Amazing views, climbs and descents were frequently spoiled by one thing: broken pedal straps. Back then, there was simply nothing on the market strong enough to withstand the forces and pressures of everyday riding. So we made our own. In the back bedroom of a house in Bingley, we designed, developed and produced our signature product, the diagonal strap. It was a success. Other cyclists began asking for the product, demand increased and Restrap was born. From these small beginnings, Restrap has gone from strength to strength, now producing a wide range of innovative, hard wearing cycling products. We know what cyclists want, understand those small but irritating riding problems, and we solve them with careful, functional designs. Most of our products are still handmade in Yorkshire from recycled, locally sourced materials and always will be.

reynolds technology Reynolds invented tube butting in 1898 – to reduce weight safely. This mechanical engineering process is still used over 114 years later in lightweight bike frames. Reynolds was the first to introduce 531, a highly alloyed steel in 1935, and the first heat-treated steel (753) to the industry in 1976. Remaining innovative, we also use 3-2.5 and 6-4 titanium, hydroformed aluminium, air-hardening 631 and 853, and maraging stainless steel (Reynolds 953 – currently the strongest tube-set available to builders).

My interest in framebuilding developed after visiting several English Pro shops with the typical frame shop out back. In 1971 Mark DiNucci and I bought oxy-propane tanks, Harris brazing torches, files and assorted tools and started in. Today Strawberry is a one man - one dog concern producing road bicycles in the traditional mold of hand brazed, oxy-propane torch - brass conjoined lugged steel construction. Unique features of the Strawberry designed wishbone rear triangle and integral topstay/seatpost binder completes a simple but elegant aesthetic.

cinelli - gruppo srl In bike we trust! We apply Design principles to our products, but also to our company. Design is not just looks. Design means shape, first project, outline, technology, technique, materials, innovation, creativeness, function, quality, uniqueness, know-how, emotion. We want every product to have an Idea, since, if it is a copy, it cannot be Cinelli. However, the road to the mission is long and not easy at all.
