With ByStickel, I do my very best to produce the cleanest, most innovative, and best-functioning custom bicycle available. I urge you to compare content and pricing to frames by the best custom builders in the country. I believe that, feature for feature, mine are one of the best values available. And if busted knuckles and lost sleep count for anything, no other builder even comes close.


Frames include:

High-quality, heat-treated, double-butted tubing from the best producers, such as TruTemper, Reynolds, Columbus, and Dedacciai, chosen individually according to need.
Rigid, hooded, cast, forged, or machined dropouts for TIG construction
Bent stays for proper heel and crank clearance.
ByStickel's own tiny, stainless housing guides
Sterling silver, picture frame head badge. (you customize with the image of your choice)
The original disk brake rotor seatstay brace.
ByStickel head tube gusset for 29er
Single color, show-quality powdercoat in solid or metallic. (multi-coat colors extra)

Base price is $1,500 U.S.
Short-chainstay 29ers begin at $1,800.


Please note that every custom frame build is different and pricing will vary depending on options chosen. I will quote you a price based on your specific requirements.

I can work to help you get the bike you want within the budget you have by removing some cool proprietary features, but please be reasonable. It will be very difficult to lower the cost by more than 10%. And barters are rare, but if you have a solid, early-'70s Datsun, I'm all ears.

Parts and complete build kits are available with frame purchase at attractive pricing. Please inquire with your needs.
