Custom steel frames, handmade in Gesualdo

I am Vincenzo Forgione, a craftsman: for over 30 years I have been designing and building custom steel frames for every kind of bicycle. You deal directly with me, from measurements to delivery.

I join the tubes with silver brazing (Silver Fillet Brazed), a technique that in my view makes the difference: I explain it on the joints page.

Bikes and frames

Every frame is designed around your measurements and the way you ride. Choose a category to see real builds.

How to order your custom frame

Every frame is a one-off piece, made entirely by hand by Vincenzo Forgione in his workshop in Gesualdo. Here is how it works, from the first contact to delivery.

  1. Write or call usTell us what kind of bike you are looking for. Together we define the type of frame, tubing and diameters, and any extra requests. Starting prices are on the Prices and Shipping page.
  2. Take your measurementsVincenzo sends you instructions and photos so you can measure yourself (or you can email us your measurements). If needed, he helps you over a video call. Read the measuring guide
  3. First deposit and designA first deposit confirms the order and starts the frame design. The design is sent to you and, if you wish, we adjust it together.
  4. Approve and bookOnce the design and all the details are approved, a second deposit is used to set aside the materials and book the build.
  5. Handmade constructionBuild time is approximately 60 days from when all the details have been defined. During the work you can receive photos at no extra cost, if you wish.
  6. Balance, shipping or pick-upThe balance is paid before shipping (bank transfer or PayPal). For shipping I ask for a contribution of €50 in Europe and €100 for the rest of the world, or pick-up in Gesualdo.

Want the complete bike? Components can be purchased through Vincenzo (with an advance payment) or supplied by you, in which case shipping the components is at your expense. Vincenzo assembles the bike in Gesualdo for a contribution of €100; if you prefer, you can have it assembled wherever you like.
