Custom builds
Your frame, your spec, built start to finish in the shop. One fitting, one paint consult, one bike at the end.

Workshop services
Builds, repaints, wheel building and the alignment table. The queue is published honestly: whatever the board says this morning is what it says.
The boardFour things we do properly
Everything below is done in-house on Foundry Lane. We do not send frames out and we do not rush cure times, which is why the queue exists.
Repaint & respray
Strip, treat, prime, enamel, decal, clear. Old frames welcome; we match faded colours by eye and by spectrograph.
Wheel building
Hand-laced, tensioned and stress-cycled on our jig. Brass or alloy nipples, any hub you bring in.
Retrofit & check-up
A full once-over for any steel bike: alignment table, facing, chase, and a written report.
The paint labTwelve house enamels
Mixed in-house, sprayed in a booth that used to dry brass castings. Any colour can be matched from a photograph, a frame, or a rumour.
- Bexley Green
- Rosso Corsa
- Foundry Slate
- Cream Poster
- Saddle Tan
- Midnight Oil
- Orchard Gold
- Chrome Grey
- Tannery Red
- Lug Silver
- Bottle Green
- Bare Wax
Custom colour work runs $140 on top of any respray. Two rounds of spray-outs are included so you can argue with yourself properly.
