Frameforum is a site dedicated to the art and craft of the handmade bicycle. It’s about the people who make them; it’s about the people who ride them.
Frameforum is the place to be if you’re considering the 'custom alternative' – a bike that gives you everything 'off-the-shelf ' bikes don’t.
It’s about you - not Mr or Ms. Average.
A custom bike is more than just a paint job. A custom bike isn't about shaving grams for bragging rights either. It’s about you and your builder considering every aspect of the bike. The process starts with finding the best dimensions, followed by designing and building the frame, then deciding on each and every component part of the bike - your bike.
A bike that's been custom-built for you will fit you better than a stock bike ever could. It can be as individual as you are; it can suit your particular style of riding, your particular needs and be built from a material that suits you ... not the coffee stop crew.
Frameforum is also a great place those who build, or aspire to build, custom bikes.
In the forum section, you’ll find members embarking on their first steps in framebuilding as well as some of the greats of the framebuilding game; iconic builders making iconic bikes. If you want to ask questions and get answers on frame building from the folks who actually build them, this is the place.
In short; if handmade bicycles are your thing - whether rider, collector or creator - make Frameforum your first port of call! |

 News of a great new feature has just arrived from Carol Johnson, organiser of the ROCKY MOUNTAIN BICYCLE SHOW.
This years' RMBS will now feature a BUILDER'S DÉBUT section; an opportunity for neophyte builders to announce their presence to the world, show a couple of examples of their work, and rub shoulders with some of the best framebuilders in the world!
Not only that, in keeping with the altruistic nature of the RMBS (all show profits go to local cycling-based charities) booth space costs are kept to a minimum, making the taking part in a major exhibition something within easy reach of the start-up or part-time framebuilder .
Said Carol:
“We're hoping we can provide the stepping-stone many new builders need if they are going to get themselves and their work noticed.
Builder's Début provides them with this opportunity at a reasonable cost; its an excellent way to for them stick their heads above the parapet and announce their presence to the world.”
At a time when others are telling everyone to 'go big or go home', this is a fine gesture on the part of the RMBS.
It marks a refreshing return to the days when it was all about framebuilding and not all about profit. BUILDER'S DÉBUT represents the perfect opportunity for any fledgling builder to get their face and their work in the frame; a chance for a start-up brand to get noticed and moreover, to feel part of the framebuilding community.
With guaranteed coverage of the show from presenting Sponsors of the event, Bicycling - the World's Biggest Bike Mag - the possibilities of gaining a foothold in the burgeoning US framebuilding scene are very real. So, if you fancy the chance to take along some cool frames, stand alongside some cool names - and hopefully get yourself some well-earned media exposure - this is it!
Grab your space now. Check out the RMBS website or make that call to Carol. You won't regret it!

 Frameforum first went online 5 years ago today, on April 7th, 2004!
Since then, its been attacked, jacked and hacked - but it's still here - and still going strong!
The look may have changed and people come and go, but it's still THE place for all things framebuilding.
Stick around!
Here's to the next 5 years!

 Just when you thought it couldn't get any better....it does just that!
The latest version of BikeCAD PRO is about to hit the streets. Version 6.0 takes BikeCAD Pro to new levels of excellence. The list of enhancements and additions contains features that only a few short years ago would have beyond the reach of most bike builders. Never before has a collection of bike-specific software applications with this power and versatility been combined in such an easy-to-use, RAM-friendly program.
Not only are they just so amazingly intuitive, the latest features are also incredibly useful for both amateur and professional alike. From what started out as a Java-based aid for framebuilders has evolved into a complete suite of 'virtual power-tools' for framebuilders, bike-fit specialists, mechanics and bike stores.
Take a look at what's new in v.6.0...
