ORDER PROCESS
Here’s how the build process for your custom titanium (Ti) bike works:
- Place Your Deposit: Begin your journey by placing a deposit on your custom Ti frame, which kickstarts the build process.
- Select Your Components: We’ll collaborate with you to select the ideal groupset and components that match your riding preferences and needs.
- Personalized Fit Consultation: Every custom Ti bike is built around your unique geometry and desired ride characteristics. We’ll review your existing bike, any pro bike fit data you have, and discuss your ideal ride feel. The Ti tube lengths and dimensions will be tailored to your specific build for an optimal fit.
- Finish Options: Choose from three finish options—bead blasted, polished, or brushed. For an extra layer of personalization, custom paint and finish upgrades are available for an additional cost.
- We Build Your Bike: Once all the details are confirmed, we will build your custom Ti bike. Builds are typically completed in around 6 weeks.
- Delivery: Your custom-built Ti bike will be shipped almost fully assembled. All you need to do is rotate the handlebars, attach the wheels, adjust the seatpost, and you’ll be ready to ride.
- Post-Delivery Fit Check: After delivery, we’ll follow up to ensure the bike fit and performance are perfect for your needs.

FRAMESET DETAILS
Snob AR: Built for Performance and Precision
Proven handling geometry, an exceptional tubing package, and customized fit are the key components to the Snob AR. Built from a hand-selected mix of tubing, all of our Snob AR frames begin with an ultra-oversized downtube and an oversized tapered swaged top tube for a front end that is direct and precise.
Despite this large diameter tubing, the Snob AR retains a sublime ride quality thanks to thin wall diameters - giving it the right mix of performance and serenity. We utilize a T47 threaded bottom bracket and integrated bearing headtubes for ease of maintenance - this bike is built to go the distance.
All of these frames come equipped with an Enve AR Disc fork or an AR Integrated Disc fork.
The base tube package is anything but basic - generally this is a tubeset that would already be an ‘upgrade’ over standard round, straight wall tubes with many brands. But, we can go further - we offer upgrades to double butted tubing at all 3 main frame tubes (TT, DT, and ST) as well as options for thinner or thicker gauge tubing. We would be glad to discuss your specific needs to build just the right ride for you.
