At MapDec we believe that you don’t need to compromise when it comes to creating a bike that is just right for you. Our job is to listen to your needs, offer a Bike Fit [link] if needed and use our expert mechanical knowledge to build you something really special that you will love to ride.
We are completely independent. You can trust that any opinions or advice we give is based on experience and evidence. We can source virtually any bike part or component to create a bike that is uniquely yours.
A custom bike build can be a cost-effective choice – you get exactly what you want from the start with no need for after-market changes or component swaps.
How to Build A Custom Bike
Step 1 - Choose your frame
We are the leading UK distributors for LOOK and Time. Two of the world’s most exceptional bike brands, both designed and made in Europe. LOOK bikes combine race-winning heritage and technical innovation with eye-catching design. TIME bikes are leaders in carbon fibre manufacturing with unsurpassed research and expertise. We can also source and supply other brands of frame – just ask us for more information.
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.
We can source any wheels you want!
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.
Step 4 – We build your bike
Our team of highly skilled mechanics will take your final product choices and transform them into a smooth, slick ready-to-ride dream machine in our pro-level workshop. [link]
Step 5 - Collection or Delivery
Collect from us at MapDec, we can walk you through every aspect of your new custom-built bike and make sure you leave completely happy. Based in the Lake District we have some of the best cycling in the UK on our door-step – the perfect test environment for your new bike.
We also ship world-wide.

Our professional workshop is staffed with highly trained expert mechanics who are obsessed by two things – bike technology and attention to detail.
The level of technical knowledge at Mapdec is insane. Our mechanics are trained to very high standards but most importantly we are obsessed with making bikes work the way they should. Our professional workshop is fully equipped with high performance tools, including those annoying proprietary branded tools that make simple jobs tricky if you don’t have them.
We fix what other shops can’t.
Seriously, we love a challenge and we are often the final port of call for mechanical issues after other shops have struggled or don’t have the tools.
When you drop your bike off, or it arrives from collection, we will give you an estimated turnaround time(2-3 days), it might be 7 days if we are very busy, usually May - July. If there are delays in part availability we will let you know.

£35 Race Ready
You think your bike is in good condition, but you would appreciate a trained eye to check for anything that might fail in your big event. Checks of tyre, tube/sealant, chain wear and condition, shift cables, break pads, spoke condition, bolt torque check, frame and wheel inspection.
£35 Filthy Rider
You've been out in the mud and everything needs a right good scrub. Includes: Fame scrub, access BB, and HS bearings for a whipe and grease, clean chain and lube.
£70 Full Service
Things have worn out, starting to malfunction and your bike needs making safe again. Includes: Replacement of consumables like tyres, break pads, gear cables, chains, bar tape, ect as well as a good clean, lube and safety checks.
£160 Full Rebuild Service
Your bike, naked and exposed on the bench. Every part removed, inspected, serviced. Includes: Wheels, Drive train, brakes, etc. Everything except suspension and dropper posts.
If we encounter very worn small parts like bearings we will replace them as we go and add these parts to the invoice. For bigger components we feel are excessively worn to achieve the 'as good as new' result we will quote and seek authorisation for the parts needed. We will price match parts from UK websites (including all taxes and shipping).
This service package does not include eBike motor service, suspension pivot bearings, or suspension servicing.
£260 Full Bounce rebuild
Full rebuild service but also includes forks, shocks and seatpost basic service. Includes: Fork lower leg service, shock air can service, dropper shaft service.
We are an authorised service centre for Bosch, Shimano, Fazua, Yamaha and VOLT. Generally an eBike motor service is an additional hour labour to remove the motor, service, replace and update firmware. This can depend on access and bikes with lots of covers or framework restricting access can cost more. For example, eCargo bikes often need lots of framework removing to get access.
