C / 01
YOUR NEXT BICYCLE · CONSIDERED
Not a ranking. Not the model receiving the loudest applause. A considered recommendation shaped by the rider you are—and the rider you intend to become.
Begin the seven-minute questionnaire ↗THE QUESTION BEFORE THE BICYCLE
Most riders arrive with a shortlist. Beneath it is usually a more important question: more comfort over distance, more confidence at speed, a position that respects a changing body—or simply the desire to own something with lasting character.
Chainsmith considers your riding history, terrain, aspirations, position and investment before narrowing the field. Brand follows understanding.
LOOK CLOSER
“The best bicycle is not discovered by scrolling further.”
It emerges through better questions, experienced interpretation and the freedom to compare custom and production choices on equal terms.

FIT BEFORE FRAME
IdMatch allows us to observe your position, movement and proportions before recommending geometry, frame size or front-end configuration.
“There is both an art and a science to bike fitting. David’s experience complemented the technology and data of the IdMatch process.”
— Tim, DeAnima Redondo owner

Made for you
Made-to-measure geometry, an individual finish and a component specification considered as one complete object. For the rider who wants the rarest expression—and has no interest in compromise by convention.
Specified for you
Begin with a production frameset whose geometry already suits you, then select the wheels, drivetrain, front end and finishing details around your riding and preferences.

OWNER’S NOTE · TIM’S DEANIMA REDONDO
Tim began with a familiar brief: replace an ageing endurance bike with modern technology and similarly relaxed manners. The Recommended Best Bike questionnaire opened another possibility.
“Once I understood that a custom frame was possible, the attraction went well beyond fit. It offered a personal aesthetic and the opportunity to create something outside the mainstream.”
His Redondo’s classic round tubes and restrained raw-carbon and sky-blue finish were designed for enduring appeal—not a season’s fashion.
“Over the following year, both the bike and I evolved. I became stronger and faster, even as an older rider. The bike is certainly not holding me back.”
THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE DECISIONS
OWNER’S NOTE · NICK’S TITICI ALFA
“I already owned an Italian bike, but not one that was entirely Italian. David and I began with the frame; Campagnolo Record and Shamal wheels completed the idea. What drew me to the Alfa was the outrageous, futuristic line of the top tube and seat stays.”
