Bike Science was established in March 2010 by Andy Sexton. Andy has over twenty five years of competitive biking experience and over twenty years as a triathlete. While working at Planet X he identified the need to be able to offer accurate, professional bike fitting services to riders wishing to buy bikes without being able to try the actual bike for size first and riders wishing to optimise their riding position to increase performance, avoid injury or improve comfort. He started Bike Science with these aims in mind.

Craddock custom carbon fibre frames are made to measure in the UK. The geometry and laminate are tailored to suit each rider for the best possible fit and feel. All frames are made in-house at the Craddock composites workshop in Worcestershire which is equipped for machining, fixturing, laminating, moulding and curing. I use specialist materials sourced from companies supplying the F1, aerospace and marine sectors. The laminate specifications for the tubes and joints are the product of an extensive R&D and testing process, making frames that are built for an excellent ride.

AOI.CYCLE are handcrafted stainless steel bicycle which combine beautiful aesthetics with functionality.
As designer, Ken took inspiration from the curve in a cyclist back as they ride, to develop a unique frame design. This design is handcrafted by a small team of highly skilled professionals in the company’s factory in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Each bike is made to a customer’s individual specifications and measurements.
This unique bicycle brings together the best in design, technology, and manufacturing to make a machine that is perfect for leisure riding and your daily commute, but which looks so good you might be tempted to hang it on your wall instead. You certainly wouldn’t be the first customer to do so.

Before Carbon was established in April 2015 after 3 years of research and studies.
The designation refers to a happy and productive period in the Italian industry for bicycles, and it’s precisely that time period that we are inspired by and want to carry on.
Frames and bicycles were exclusively made by hand, sometimes even tailor-made, as were cranks, fenders, handlebars and saddles, all made in Italy but sometimes also in Europe.
We believe that bicycles can change the world and the people. At Before Carbon we are working to make it a reality.

The story of the most famous steel tubes in the history of cycling began in 1919 when A.L. Colombo founded his steel plant with the ambition to “to do business in iron and steel and make a fair and honest profit,”. The result was the history of cycling as we know it: legendary tube sets AIR, MAX (first tube-set to break the tradition of conventional diameters and introduce concept of orientated ellipses and differentiated sections), SL, SLX, NIVACROM (EL and Genius), Altec, Starship and Spirit right up to the most 2009’s XCR, the world’s first ever tubeless stainless steel tube set which allows for the production of a steel frame competitive (and out-performing in some categories) at the highest level of the sport on all levels: weight (sub-1400g), rigidity, fatigue resistance and of course the remarkably superior handling of steel.
