A bit about Kent, titanium and fabrication.

Titanium is among the strongest, lightest metals on Earth. Titanium tubes are formable, corrosion-proof, highly resistant to fatigue and smooth in nature. Translated to riding, this means a responsive, durable and lightweight frame offering exceptional comfort while delivering performance and style. With a titanium frame, you cannot go wrong.

Kent started using titanium in 1991 following his revolutionary work fabricating frames out of steel. Forever the innovator, tester and designer, titanium use was a natural progression. Kent’s signature is his ability to shape, form and fit titanium tubes specific for each bike he designs. Our shop is full of specialized benders, squishers and shaping tools used daily in the fabrication of custom frames. Along with a skilled welder, Kent’s precise machining and experienced tooling make him a master of bicycle fabrication. With each made-to-order frame keenness shines through in meticulous attention to detail, functional design and a flare like no other, delivering quality and perfection you expect from Kent’s hands.

Buying a frame

Inquiries and orders are just a phone call away. If you are curious, just looking, or completely ready to buy we welcome your call. You are not wasting our time by checking in with us. Our job is to help you with the bike buying process regardless of your technical knowledge.

Once you have decided on a frame, Kent will go through the process of planning and making the frame for you. He will ask basic questions about your riding history, style and needs. He will also have you take some various measurements of you and your existing bike. From this information, we create a CAD drawing of your bike for your review as it evolves.

When we agree on the design, we are ready to go. We will talk back and forth to finalize your measurements, discuss parts to be used on the bike and any other special requirements or add-ons. Once finalized we require a $1000.00 deposit to get the ball rolling. We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards.

Timing

We strive to build our frames in a timely manner. This means from the time you put a deposit down and give us the go-ahead on a frame style, you can expect to have a frame in as little as 8-10 weeks. Factors that may influence delivery include complex custom designs, current production levels and time of year (Late Winter and Spring is very busy). Full suspension designs also may take longer to complete.

If you are having us build a complete bike, this may take longer to deliver. It is best to call us for current turn-around times.

Road, mountain, cross and 29’er/96’er are our basic frames. From here, the choices are unlimited. We customize any model to fit your needs. Single speeds, eccentric bottom brackets, Rohloff integrated hubs, comfort road bikes, commuter set-ups etc. Let us know what you are looking for and we will help you get it.

We offer frames, frame with headset and fork, and complete bikes. We assemble and test all bikes inhouse before sending it to you.
