04 · The Chainsmith approach

A bicycle should be understood before it is specified.

The best bicycle is not necessarily the newest, lightest or most expensive. It is the one whose geometry, character and components make sense for the person riding it.

Chainsmith begins with the rider: your position, riding history, terrain, ambitions and investment. We use this rider brief to recommend the most appropriate frame geometry, bicycle manufacturer and final component specification.

07 · Rider story · Perth

From an idea to the roads less travelled.

Matt’s custom TITICI bicycle began with his riding position, preferred terrain, ambitions, geometry and colour. Move the line to follow the journey from proposed frame to completed TITICI Relli.

“There is nothing I would change on the bike.”
