Development

You are here because you saw the post on social media, maybe a friend sent you a link, or you’ve found it through the magic of Google. Welcome.

I am looking at growing my business and developing my bikes. What I envision is 3 set frame “models” which are available in custom sizes. Imagine you’re going to buy a new item of clothing and whilst it may look like all the others that they sell in that fabric it is custom to your size. This is inspired by 2 things, firstly the traditional tailors of the past. You’d go in with a budget and a style in mind, what you got was a suit in a certain style, but in your specific size. Secondly, the dream is that everyone gets to ride their own bespoke-sized bike. By making the bikes a standard setup I can buy parts in larger quantities, make parts ahead of time, reduce my costs and save you money.

What am I offering?

• one of 3 different designs of bikes. Road, commuter or hardtail mtb

• A frameset (frame, forks & headset)

• Heavily discounted parts to set up the build

• Custom sizing

• Bike fit before build

What do I ask from you?

• Lots of use of the bike

• Photos and feedback on the bike

• Regular posts and tags on social media

• Essentially, use it. Ride a lot and give me feedback on the bike.

I think it is a pretty fair deal. You get a complete bespoke bike at a significantly reduced cost and I get some brand ambassadors/testers who are going out and using my bikes in a wide variety of places.

I would particularly like to hear from women and people who feel that they are part of underrepresented groups within cycling.

If you think you can help me out drop me an email at pete@alfanoframeworks.com with your ideas and a bit about yourself and I’ll do my best to get in touch with you.
