Gravel Bikes

Alan custom built gravel bike

Do it all on 1 bike! If your bike collection numbers a few bikes for different purposes then it is likely that the quality of each bike is diluted. The solution – a gravel bike will enable you to take one very high quality frame and use it for a number of different purposes without any compromise. The gravel bike market is rapidly expanding in the UK with an increase in the number of gravel specific events and cycle-cross races.

VERSATILE

3 bikes in 1 – A custom built gravel bike will be:

  • Your best Summer/Winter road bike
  • You best cycle-cross bike
  • Your best trail/gravel path bike

At fit to ride we will match you to one of our very light-weight but strong Alan carbon or aluminium frames which will allow you fit either 700c road wheels or 650b off-road wheels. In addition to the custom built bikes we also offer a range of Custom Built Wheels built to suit your build and requirements and in addition we will include a free bike fit so that the bike is perfectly set up for you.

These bikes are ideal for adventurers who would like to take their bikes to multiple locations with ease. Ideal for local Dorset riders who enjoy a combination of fantastic road/trail/gravel/singletracks that are abundant in this area.
