The Rundown:

So… you want a bike. Amazing! Let’s break down process for frames, builds, and repairs. First off, good things take time. Of course, I want to make cool things for everyone, but I am simply a man and a torch. I work full time for the local University, and this isn’t currently my full-time gig. Now that’s aside, let’s talk shop.

I will build you (just about) anything. That’s right! Have an idea? Let’s talk. I love challenging projects and things the industry might usually look down upon. Want a sick old school lugged track bike? Sure. Trail shredding hardtail? Done. However, I am not afraid to tell you that your idea is clapped. Don’t like that? Go find someone else. I value my time, and yours, so let’s not beat around the bush.

You can reach me directly by shooting me an email at jake@fwlbikeco.com or through the contact part of this website. Reach out to me on Instagram if you’re abroad or don’t do the email thing.

Please note that these prices are subject to change. Tubing types, dropouts, and many other parts of the bike can be customized which usually increases pricing.

Full bike builds are also welcome! I can build frames and box them so they are basically ready to ride. If this is what you’re after let’s talk. I can offer some discounts on forks and other high dollar components and usually am able to match or beat bike shop custom build pricing. Rolling chassis and wheel builds are also not out of the question.

For general pricing peep the specs below! Any other questions give me a holler via email or the contact form.
