Bare build
Métier Vélo frame with bottom bracket, headset, and fork installed. I will build to generally accepted specifications, but I cannot guarantee all components will fit. Preferred build Complete Métier Vélo bicycle with pre-selected components. A complete build allows me to check clearances, optimize accessory placement and cable runs, and generally make sure everthing is perfect. I have OEM relationships with some of the best suppliers, so I can offer competitive prices on most components. We're all individuals Every bicycle is designed from the ground up to your specifications. Read on for inspiration and information. |

I have OEM agreements that allow me to get you competitive prices on the components of your choice:
Wheels
Select wheels for your Métier Vélo by the following producers and get a great value on wheels made in the US using primarily US-manufactured parts: If you would like wheels from other manufacturers, or full-custom wheels, let me know and I will see what I can do for you. Unconventional
Some things you don't usually see on manufactured bicycles. |
Road |
Race
The quintessential road racing bicycle; comfortable enough for a five-hour road race, quick enough for a one-hour criterium. Endurance More relaxed geometry for all-day comfort and stable descending, yet nimble climbing. Ideal for long road races and Gran Fondos. Criterium Super-tight geometry for fast handling, high bottom bracket for pedaling through corners, super-stiff and strong to withstand high-wattage sprints and roller-derby crashes. Gravel Endurance geometry with disc brakes and clearance for extra-wide tires; takes race performance off the tarmac. Brevet Relaxed geometry, equipped for 1200km of self-supported racing in all weather on all roads—lights, fenders, extra bottles, map holder, and a compass in the stem cap. Tour Long wheelbase, upright position for observing the scenery, rack mounts & fender mounts galore. |
Cross |
Race
Agressive geometry for one-hour of insane Zone 5 in mud, snow, and slush. Cantis or discs. Nothing extraneous. All-around Commute by week, race machine on the weekend. Sane geometry, bottle-mounts and fender eyelets. |
Time trial |
UCI
Aggressive aero position over comfort. Clean lines with minimum frontal cross-section and virtually no cable exposure. TRI Aero comfort for multi-hour efforts against the clock. Custom 3D-printed mounts to place your computer/bottle/CO2/nutrition exactly where you want it. |
City |
Commute
Anything and everything for the daily commute; chain or belt drive; internal gears or derailleur, mounts for fenders, rack, lock, lights and more. Considerations to make your bits and pieces theft-resistant. Fixie Stripped down simplicity for getting around town. Single freewheel with a brake, or truly fixed without. |
Fat |
Big fat tires for snow and sand. Go 1x11 or try the super-cool Rohloff 1x14 SpeedHubXL internal geared hub. Smart routing for hydraulics if you’re not riding in the Arctic. (Hydraulic fluid freezes? Really? If it is that cold out maybe you should be inside on the trainer.)

Mountain |
Hardtail XC
Light and fast for the trail. 27-5-er or 29er. Geometry from aggressive to relaxed. 1x11 • 2x10 • 3x9 • Rohloff Speedhub 1x14. Try the latest hub width: 12x148 thru axle Boost 148! Different must be better! 759 | 975 Hardtail Why choose? For smaller riders, mixing wheel sizes provides the benefits of 29" wheels with better proportions. |
