Two ways in

Buy one finished, or have one built.

Either way it goes through the same bench, and leaves with the same paperwork.

Path 01 // From the archiveFinished and logged

A build that’s ready

Builds that are finished, measured and logged. Each one has a dossier you can read before you ask about it.

On the bench

Measured, not guessed.

A 25-year-old aluminum frame gets looked at before it gets trusted. Four steps, the same on every build.

  1. Phase 01

    Intake

    Bore scope and threads

    Every frame is bore-scoped and its threads chased before anything is bought for it or bolted to it.

    Nothing hidden inside the tubes

  2. Phase 02

    Measure

    Dial indicator and a granite flat

    Alignment, dropout spacing and faces are measured on the bench, and the readings go into the dossier.

    Readings, not adjectives

  3. Phase 03

    Build

    Parts that suit the frame

    Modern where it earns it, original where it matters. Nothing cut, drilled or brazed that can’t be undone.

    Reversible by default

  4. Phase 04

    Handover

    The dossier goes with it

    Manifest, bench log and measurements, printed, with whatever came off boxed and labelled.

    Every part accounted for

Every build leaves with its dossier

Parts list, bench log and measurements, the same as you can read on this site.
