Frankie Flats Pro Builds

If you want a bicycle that is custom built exactly for you, come to Frankie Flats.  We'll work with you every step of the way to make sure that you get exactly what you want. We begin by consulting you on what you want out of your custom bicycle.  We then provide a list of frames and component packages for you to choose from.  Once you have selected your frame and component package, we'll coordinate the purchasing of the frame and all of the parts.  As soon as we have everything at the shop, we focus on the details of the build. 

First we prep the frame, making sure the bottom bracket and head tube are faced evenly and that the threads in the BB are chased properly.  Then we assemble your bicycle part-by-part, lubing and greasing when needed, following proper torque specifications on every critical bolt and pay special attention to proper cable routing to achieve the least amount of friction possible. Once the build is complete, at least two mechanics will test ride your new rig to make sure it is shifting buttery smooth and braking with proper force. The final step will be to set you up on your new machine to achieve the proper body position for whatever type of riding you will be doing. This includes shoe and cleat installation, saddle height, forward and aft position, stem length, handlebar height, and shifter/brake lever position. Finally, one of our mechanics will give your bike the "out the door" check-over and you're ready to hit the road or trail!
