Custom frame prices and shipping

How much does a custom steel frame cost? Here are the starting prices, what is included and what is optional. Every frame is designed and built by hand together with the customer, so the final price depends on the choices we make together. All prices are exclusive of VAT.

Shipping

Frame packed for shipping

For shipping the frame or complete bike I ask for a contribution of €50 in Europe and €100 for the rest of the world: it is a contribution towards the costs and does not cover the full shipping cost.

For shipments outside the European Union, any import duties or taxes can be discussed and agreed directly with me.

I pack with craftsman’s care and agree the details of reception with you. Alternatively you can pick up in Gesualdo.
