I've been on a quest to get a custom bike built for the last two years and I'm proud to say my project is finally complete. Why did it take me two years?  It wasn't the budget or my interest in getting the bike built. For me it was all about finding the right builder to help me complete my vision.  The builder had to be one that was more than just an accomplished frame builder. They had to be one that I could connect with. That truly understood what I was trying to accomplish. In my opinion, getting a custom bike built is as much about the person building the bike as it is the finished product....

For those of lucky enough to live here in Milwaukee (no seriously) there is one local business that I feel pretty much defines the cool things that are happening here in this great city.  Colectivo Coffee started off in 1993 as what was then known as Alterra Coffee.  Throughout the years they slowly expanded their presence here in Milwaukee with a combination of hard work, great coffee and super cool coffee shops that were located in the best spots around town.  This is pretty impressive...

When we first opened our new workshop here in Milwaukee we were pumped because we finally had some room to spread out and store all our gear and we finally had the room to build up a small workspace for building up bikes to test out our latest gear.  Once we started getting visitors to the space however, our workspace quickly turned into an area for us to build up custom bikes for local bike messengers, family and friends and pretty much anyone else that came into the shop looking for something a little custom.  There's nothing better than getting a bike made to your specifications and we were more than happy to help people build up their ideal bike.

We recently added a custom bike builder page to our website...
