Step 1
Choose Your Frame
At the heart of every custom build is a beautiful new frame. This is the most important choice in your custom build journey and can be the most difficult, as well as the most fun to make.
Step 2
Choose Your Wheelset
Next to the frame your wheels are the most important decision you make in determining the ride feel of your new bike.
Chat to us about where you ride, your riding style and expectations and we will help find the best choice for you.
Step 3
Choose Your Finishing Kit
Group-sets and the touch points of your bike – bars, saddle, stem - are the most personal decisions to make.
We can help you select products based on your riding goals and priorities, whether they are comfort, speed or longevity of components.

Prepared With Care
At Mapdec Cycle Works, we build to perfection, including meticulous frame preparation. Frame prep is crucial before building a custom bike.
Processes like facing, chasing, and reaming ensure that all surfaces are flush, threads are clean and the frame is ready components to be fitted. This attention to detail guarantees not only a smoother assembly but also a superior riding experience.
Attention to Detail
A Mapdec custom build includes a basic bike fit. This entails a preliminary fitting consultation to ensure the correct frame size is ordered and a final confirmation fit which allows for adjustments to the finishing kit before the final steerer tube cut.
All of this ensures that once you hit the road or trail your bike feels just right.
