At Grand Tor Cycling, we build bikes around riders — not the other way around.
A great bike is more than a frame and a few parts. It should feel right from the first ride, fit your goals, and give you the confidence to ride more often, more comfortably, and with more enjoyment. That’s what our custom bike build service is all about.
Whether you’re after your first proper road bike, a performance-focused gravel setup, or a carefully chosen build for long days in the saddle, we’ll help you create something that truly fits the way you ride.
If you already know exactly what you want, we’ll get to work. If you’re still figuring it out, we’ll guide you through the choices clearly and honestly.
CUSTOM ROAD BIKES
We specialise in custom road bikes, but our builds go well beyond that. From gravel to triathlon, we can help you choose the right frame, components, and setup for your riding style, your goals, and your budget.
With a wide range of frame brands and parts available, we’ll help you build a bike that feels right, rides brilliantly, and suits you properly.
Step 1 — Consultation
We start with a conversation.
One of our team will take the time to understand how you ride, what you want from your bike, and what matters most to you. That might be comfort, speed, efficiency, all-day endurance, or a balance of everything.
If you already have a clear idea of what you want, we can move straight into sizing and build options. If not, we’ll help you narrow it down.
Step 2 — Sizing and bike fit
Getting the size right makes all the difference.
Before you buy, we’ll carry out a pre-purchase bike fit to assess the key measurements that help us match you to the right frame and geometry. This means we can recommend a bike that suits your body, your position, and your riding style.
Our dedicated bike fit studio offers a personalised service, led by an experienced and IBFI-certified bike fitter. The aim is simple: to make sure your new bike is comfortable, efficient, and right for you from day one.
Step 3 — Build specification
Once we know the right frame size, we’ll help you choose the rest of the build.
We work with a strong range of brands and components, including Daccordi, Wilier, Basso, SARTO, LOOK and Bianchi. From Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 to SRAM RED, we can build your bike with the groupset and finishing kit that suit your riding best.
We’ll guide you through every detail — from tyres to bar tape — so you end up with a bike that feels considered, balanced, and completely yours.
STEP 4 – BUILD AND DELIVERY
Once you’re happy with the spec, we’ll arrange everything needed to get the build underway.
Our qualified mechanics will assemble your bike carefully and set it up using the measurements taken during the fit process. That means everything is dialled in properly, including seat height, stack, reach, and overall setup.
The result is a bike that’s built with care and ready to ride.
After Sales and Bike Fit
After-sales support and bike fit
Our service doesn’t stop once you leave the shop.
We offer after-sales support to make sure your bike continues to perform as it should. Every bike purchase includes a 3-month follow-up service, giving you the chance to fine-tune anything once you’ve had some proper time in the saddle.
If you want to get the most from your position, comfort, and efficiency, a dedicated bike fit is always a smart move. We use real-time front and side video analysis in our fitting room to assess and refine your position with care and precision.
