Off-the-shelf bikes force compromises. Wrong wheels. Wrong saddle. Wrong crank length. Wrong gearing for where you ride.
You know what you want, but getting a custom build means either becoming a mechanic yourself or finding one willing to guide you through the entire process—from frame selection to final fit.
You source any frameset (new or used)
We consult on every component selection

I've spent decades building and rebuilding my bikes, searching for that perfect moment of bike zen— when everything feels so smooth, quiet, and dialed that you forget you're pedaling and just ascend into pure joy. That feeling we all knew as kids, zipping down foresty trails or city streets.
Even when I find it, my mind's already thinking about the next thing to try, the next tweak to make. I love building bikes. I love riding bikes. I love everything about bikes.
Dream Build exists because I would've been my own customer. No more going it alone—let's chase bike zen together, from frame selection to first ride.
Tell me about your dream bike and let's make it happen.
