WHAT WE DO

enlargeToday, Roberts Cycles combines modern technology with traditional craftsmanship to produce practical, elegant and affordable custom bicycles and framesets. Whether it's a world champion's bike or a Sunday runabout, every one of our frames and cycles is designed and built one-at-a-time in our own workshop.
Our range includes road, track, time-trial, audax, touring, commuting and mountain bikes. Tandems too. Women's bikes are a speciality.

We can also incorporate S&S torque couplings into our frames, enabling any of our bikes to be split into two halves and packed into a 26"x 26"x 10" case. Such bikes are a pleasure to take travelling and the advantage over other designs of folding/travelling bike is that there is no compromise in performance or comfort - it's your bike, built for you.

Each frame is hand-built to reflect the individual owner and their needs. Our carefully selected fittings, components and accessories and almost infinite choice of finishes give ample scope to customise each bike further.

We aim to build a bicycle that is responsive, comfortable, durable and suited perfectly to you. We achieve this by:

  • Giving you, the customer, plenty of time and attention to ensure that you are aware
    of the possibilities open to you and that you are confident about your choices.
  • Making sure that you are properly and precisely fitted for your frameset.
  • Using proven designs and a combination of tubes hand-picked by Chas for the
    type of bike and your size, weight and style of riding.
  • Taking care of every last detail during the construction, finishing, assembling and
    tuning of your bike.
Our frames are the equal of any in the world. We take great pride in our work and measure our success by your satisfaction.

BUYING OUR BIKES

You don't need specialist knowledge or even be a regular cyclist to go custom. If you're having trouble choosing between off-the-peg bikes in the shops or you can't find the features you need, if you're not of average build or can't find a bike that feels right for you, if you appreciate individuality and extraordinary engineering, or if you simply want the best, you can be confident that the performance of our bikes can't be bettered.

If you are interested in ordering one of our bicycles, please get in touch to talk through the details or arrange a fitting. You can even order by post/fax/e-mail as long as you can provide us with a few simple measurements such as height and inside leg. Just fill in our body chart..

But if you're still unconvinced, why not take a look at a few examples of what we can do.
