Bike Frames and Framesets

A frameset purchase is a deliberate choice. It means you’ve decided that the best complete bike at your budget isn’t as good as the frame you want built up with the components you’d actually choose. The fit and ride character of a frame are fixed; the components can be upgraded. Riders who build from framesets tend to know exactly what they want — or they work with someone who does. RA Cycles has been helping serious cyclists spec and build custom bikes for 50 years.

The frameset selection spans the full spectrum of disciplines and price points. On the aero and triathlon side: the Pinarello Bolide F in multiple configurations — including the HR 3D printed version developed for professional racing — alongside the BMC Timemachine and the Look P24. For road, you’ll find framesets from Colnago, Cervélo, Pinarello, Wilier, and others, from race-bred carbon to endurance geometries built for longer miles. Gravel framesets from 3T, ENVE, and OPEN round out the range. The collection runs from entry-level carbon to purpose-built racing platforms where no concession was made.
