Custom Built Bicycles

Pictured above is Gordon Hill working on a new custom frame in the Hillman workshop		 When building a custom bicycle frame or full bike, there are several important stages involved:
  • Full set of customer's measurements.
  • Knowing exactly what type of frame to use, whether it be for road, long distance, criterium, triathlon, track, touring Audax etc.
  • Building the frame accurately with a lifetime guarantee.

Some of the options available to customers when ordering a custom frame are:

  • Triathlon
  • Touring
  • Road racing
  • Track
  • Mountain Bike
Measurements required by Hillman Cycles when constructing a custom bicycle frame:

Height - from ground to top of head.
In seam - from ground to upper inner thigh.
Span - from fingertip to fingertip of outstretched arms.

 


"We have never had a narrow one-track view on bike building"

When deciding to go ahead with a Hillman bike, the purchase process is as follows:

  • Measure up.
  • Determination of usage.
  • Pick the appropriate colour.
  • A 20% deposit is required.
  • The frame is then built and delivered within 2 to 4 weeks depending on the season.

All Hillman customers are provided with after purchase service including organised training rides, extensive staff knowledge, advice on races and triathlon, and basically anything bike related.
