Custom

Having a bike built to your specific needs is incredibly rewarding.  We have the knowledge and patience to walk you through the process and will explain the options to you, so you can make an informed decision.  At the end of it, you’ll have your perfect bike, made just for you.  These usually include hand-built wheels, which offer strength and integrity over an equivalently priced factory built wheel.

We happily do custom builds on Surlys; if you can dream it up, chances are we can make it a reality.  We will also gladly build up a bike with a frame you already have.  We also use a business in town for powder coating – they do a great job, so if you’re hankering for a certain colour, don’t think you’re limited to what’s on our wall!

The Xtracycle Free Radical is a unit that can be added to virtually any existing bicycle.  It extends your ‘back end’, and creates a whole new way to travel!  Cargo, kids, fridges, surfboards… you name it.  The Surly Big Dummy (pictured below in the very middle) is a bike made just for the Free Radical; it’s a solid, stable way to haul anything you can think of.  Pictured right below is an Electra Townie 7D with the Free Radical, retro-fitted with a Bobike child seat.

Here’s a small sampling of some of the bikes we’ve built in the past, as well as some spiffy parts that you could use on your next custom bike!
