CUSTOM ROAD, GRAVEL & TRIATHLON BIKES

A bike built for your goals. By your coach.

Not a bike off the rack, but a unique frame I source and build up just for you. Tuned to how you train, ride and race. With clarity about every choice.

From € 2,500 · Frame chosen to fit you · All of the Netherlands

Who is it for?

For riders who don’t want a bike, but their bike. Sound like you?

The racer

You want speed, stiffness and a position you can hold hard for hours. Every gram and every watt counts.

The gravel adventurer

Long days, changing surfaces, bags packed. Comfort and reliability without giving up the fun.

The enthusiast

You’ve been dreaming of that one bike for years. Unique, your choice down to the last detail, and built with care.

Why build with a coach?

A shop looks at the bike. I look at you first: your goals, your training and how you ride. Only then at the frame.

Built for how you ride

Geometry, gearing and tyre choice matched to your goals and your races, not to the catalogue.

Every frame chosen per build

No stock to clear. I buy the frame and components that suit you, for your bike only.

Your bike fit as the foundation

Had a bike fit done? I build exactly to your fitter’s measurements, so your bike feels right from the very first ride.

Recent builds

Every bike has a story. Here are a few.

Custom race-build: Elves Falath Evo+ met Shimano 105 Di2 en custom wielen

Race

Elves Falath Evo+ · 105 Di2 · custom wheels

Made for touring, training and racing. More comfort thanks to 30 mm tyres. Spacers, valves and bar tape all matched in style. Light, but not obsessed with every gram; comfort counts.

Custom TT-build: Vanquish Tri HD 2.0 met Shimano 105 Di2 en custom wielen

TT

Vanquish Tri HD 2.0 · 105 Di2 · custom wheels

60 mm front, 80 mm rear. Not too deep, because that makes the bike twitchy with a light rider. Bar tape in style, bottle cages behind the saddle. And set up to the millimetre from the fit.

Gravel-build: Yoeleo Altera G21 frame met Hunt 40 Carbon Gravel wielset

Your gravel machine?

Yoeleo Altera G21 DB · GRX 717 Di2 · custom wheels

Integrated, clean, 1-by. Hunt 40 Gravel wheelset or WinSpace Lún Grapid. Light, strong, 50 mm tyres for long days off the beaten track.

Around 10 weeks on average. Most of that is the frame’s delivery time, which takes about 6 weeks. Planning your bike for a goal or a season? Start your build consultation in good time.

No. If you have a bike fit, I build exactly to your fitter’s measurements. No fit yet? We’ll discuss what makes sense in the build consultation.

No fixed stock: for every build I choose and buy the frame and components that suit you best. Brands I work with include Elves, Yoeleo, WinSpace, Industry Nine, ICAN, Hunt Wheels and JRC Components.

Not at all, I build for riders all over the Netherlands. You pick up your bike from me, or I deliver it to your home for a fee, which we agree in the build consultation.
