Our new bike offerings come from dependable, dedicated, and different manufacturers than you’re probably familiar with. There are many reasons for this, but True Cyclery’s model works best when your interests and needs drive the bike build, nothing else. We offer two paths to your next bike, PROfab and PREfab, no matter your choice, the result is a bike outfitted to your specifications.
PROfab –
Built from the ground up. Every measurement, angle, tube, color, and component chosen specifically for you. No tradeoffs, no second guessing. The order process is robust but oh-so-fun, and the result is a bike that will reward you for years to come. We work with three builders, each masters of their craft:
Seven Cycles – Titanium bikes available in all disciplines. $7,000+
Eyewater Bicycles – Carbon Fiber road, gravel, and cyclocross bikes. $9,000+
Royal H Cycles – Steel bikes available in all disciplines. $6,000+
PREfab –
Built from the frame up. We’ll work with you to determine the appropriate size, then spec it piece by piece for you and your needs. We’ll assemble it in house, then fit it to you prior to making any cuts. We work with a handful of carefully selected companies to build your PREfab bike:
Surly – Steel road, gravel, hard tail, fat, commuter, and utilitarian. $2,500+
Velo Orange – Steel and aluminum gravel and commuter. $3,000+
Rodeo Adventure Labs – Titanium, Carbon, and Steel gravel. $3,600+
Allied Cycle Works – Carbon road, gravel, and XC. $6,345+
Forbidden Bike Company – Carbon DH, Enduro, and Trail. $6,000+
Mintage™ –
Resurrected from the used forums, and rebuilt for you. You may have noticed the recent surge of mint, vintage 26” wheeled mountain bikes being turned into city bikes, commuters, and utilitarian rigs. Why?
- Fun – Whether you are riding to work, the coffee shop, bar or grocery you’ll be shocked at how much more satisfying – often faster – it is to get there on a bike.
- Practical – We’ll repurpose these bikes specifically for your needs, commuting, city errands, grocery runs, social outings.
- Simplicity – 1x drivetrains – for a wide range of gearing and less thought. Flat pedals – get on and go, no outfit change required. Nothing fancy – less eye catching than your road bike. Baskets, lights, locks – ready to go anytime, anywhere.
Like every bike we build at True Cyclery, your Mintage™ bike will be built just for you. Prior to purchase we will discuss usage, how you want it outfitted, budget, timeline, and if there are any specific bikes or brands you have nostalgia for. From there, I hit the used airwaves pouring over Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Ebay, and of course, the legendary Bradley Street Bicycle Coop. Sometimes bikes are readily available but more often we’ll wait for the right bike to be listed before we pounce, sometimes days, sometimes months. Pricing can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the price of the used bike, and how you want it outfitted.
