CONSULT
It's at this point where we talk about not only performance attributes but also you colorway selection (paint and anodizing) and essentials packaging, including what wheels and suspension you'd like to run.
Each frameset is supported by a tailoring process. Chat on the phone, text or email, and we will tweak your model (if needed) from the design to finishing level. We thought about making charts and algorithms to facilitate this, but we prefer connecting with riders directly to create their own signature machine.
You tell us how you want your bike to look and feel and we tailor it to match your vision.
DEPOSIT TIME
Once your signature frame is configured and your essentials package is selected, we’ll send you a quote and invoice. 50% deposit gets the ball rolling and it takes roughly 4-6 weeks to get it from being a pile of tubes to going in the box as a work of art. Payment plans are available and we don’t ship until final payment is received.
DELIVERY DAY
Receive your bespoke Frameset in the mail after what seems like an eternity (though it's not really - for something crafted by hand at least), then spend all night putting all your parts on so you can call in sick the next day and ride like hell.
ESSENTIALS PACKAGES
So, we don't offer fully built bikes for a good reason, but we get that choosing the right suspension, cranks and wheel combo can be a PiTA. We can help with our Essentials Packages - tried and true primo bits to get your build going. This is the stuff we use on our own builds.

COLOURWAY MATTERS
You've got options. Keep it subtle, snap some necks or anything in between. Choose your custom colour combo from our suggestions or mix and match. Math is hard, but quick calculations suggest that thousands of combos are possible for truly bespoke vibes.
And, if coordinating your frame set with your parts is your jam, we've got you covered. Match up your essentials package items and frame colours to create that show bike look that'll make even your mom jealous.

Eddie's Local to Weekender
Mini Mullet 27.5/26 Local XS:
Compact and light for hitting the local jump spot and tough enough to handle mid-size bike park fun. This particular bike is pushed to the limits every time it’s out. Sky Blue Cerakote Rear with Robin's Egg Blue front triangle.
Marzocchi Z1 140 fork / Bomber Air Rear Shock / RaceFace Turbine Crankset.
Weekender DH Conversion:
Front triangle and rear shock swap converts it into a freeride Heist fit for the biggest mountains. Converted from Local to Heist several times this past year with no issues. Conversion takes about an hour.
A great example of how the Local has the tough DNA of our freeride machines and can be "over-ridden" at the park and on the trails. Stock geometry on both set-ups
Front Triangle - Size Small (425mm) / Rear Triangle - Size Small (425/435mm)
Total Weight: Local Set-up - 34lbs / Weekender Set-up - 40lbs
Fox40 200mm Fork / Cane Creek DB Air Rear Shock / RaceFace Turbine Crankset.
Colours: Sky Blue Rear / Light Blue Front / Black Ano
Jordie's Outfit to Hiest
Prototype Mullet 27.5/29 Heist:
This test Heist-prototype-turned-Outfit gets abused by Jordie Bogart on a regular basis.
It started life as prototype 29 mullet Heist that we used for kinematic testing out in the wild. Jordie asked us to convert it to a 27.5 Outfit since he felt over-biked at most parks while on the Heist. We designed a new single crown front triangle fit for 180mm forks, and travel was reduced to 170mm in the rear. The result is a machine capable of everything from rocky tech to big fast flow. Jordie's multitude of prototypes have existed in all kinds of finishes ranging from raw prototype to the purple and light sand you see here. And its form is changing yet again for this coming season–because we never stop development. Zero drop bottom bracket for agility.
Front Triangle - Size Large (470mm) / Rear Triangle - Size Extra Large (445/455mm)
Marzocchi Super Z 180 Fork / Cane Creek DB Air Rear Shock / RaceFace Atlas Crankset.
Colours: Purple / Light Sans / Black Ano
Jana's Local - Agile Wood Worker
Standard Local 27.5:
This model started as a project between Jana and I to combine the beloved ergos of a favourite exiting hardtail trailbike with modern Alpha tech. The result is a bike that can be ridden in all day harmony and rewards the rider when pushed to its limits. The result felt so brilliant that we made it a stock model.
Front Triangle - Size Small (425mm) / Rear Triangle - Size Small (425/435mm)
Total Weight (as pictured): - 34lbs
Cane Creek Helm Fork / Cane Creek Inline Air Rear Shock / RaceFace Turbine Crankset
Colours: Socom Blue Rear / Magenta Front / Silver Ano
Clark's Local Burly
Burly Local 27.5:
Perfect balance as a mid-travel, efficient pedalling enduro rig. Perfect for homeland trails, but with slack geo and big mountain capabilities for traveling abroad. Big block energy in a small-block package. Punch up.
Front Triangle - Size Small (+ 445mm) / Rear Triangle - size Medium (435/445mm)
Total Weight (in lift park trim): - 39lbs
Fox36 160mm Fork / Marzzochi Bomber Resi Rear Shock / RaceFace Turbine Crank
Colours: Bronze Cerakote Rear / Midnight Purple Front / Silver Ano
Aaron's Heist/DJ
Long Travel Heist/DJ:
This long travel Dirt Jump inspired Heist is suited for a DJ rider who goes rogue at the bike park and hits the biggest shit in the park. They required more travel in a short package than is offered anywhere else. 180/170mm with a size Small front triangle and size Small rear with short chainstays (425mm / 435mm), dirt jump geo and zero drop Bottom Bracket gives agile handling and a compact cockpit with the deep plush travel soaking up big hits.
DVO OnyxSC 180mm Fork / Cane Creek DB Air shock / RaceFace Atlas Crank
Colours: Bronze Rear / Chocolate Milk Front / Black Ano
