Founded in 2011, Velosmith Bicycle Studio employs a different approach to bike buying.

At Velosmith, our focus is on delivering a personalized bicycle purchasing experience. We tailor every aspect to suit our clients' individual preferences, from the initial design discussions to the finished product. Unlike traditional bike shops with large inventories and quick transactions, we operate on a more intimate studio model, prioritizing appointments to give each client the attention they deserve.

This streamlined approach means we don't require a large staff or extensive physical space. Instead, Velosmith is dedicated to delivering exceptional, bespoke work tailored to each rider's unique needs. Because no two riders are the same, we believe your bike should be as distinct as you are. Discover the satisfaction of owning a custom-made bicycle designed specifically for you, offering unparalleled comfort and performance. Visit us today to begin your journey towards a personalized bike purchase.

Velosmith Bicycle Studio was established in April 2011, initially occupying a modest 350 sq. ft space. From the outset, our priority has always been our clients, emphasizing open communication, humility, and a welcoming atmosphere. While these principles might seem straightforward for any small business, they are often overlooked. Our aim has consistently been to provide a truly exceptional experience for every client.

In 2014, we moved into our current location, a historic tavern dating back to 1870, complete with original hardwood floors and a pressed tin ceiling. Our commitment to clear communication, meticulous processes, and meticulous attention to detail has become our hallmark. Whether it's the development phase, fitting, design, or final construction, we believe that this unwavering dedication to quality is what sets us apart and ensures an outstanding client experience.

Always rider-focused.

The vision of Velosmith Bicycle Studio began to take shape in the mid-nineties. During that time, high-end bicycles were typically interspersed among the general offerings of bike shops.

We believed that custom bicycles warranted their own dedicated space; a place where attention to detail was paramount and where design possibilities could be fully explored. This envisioned space would be centered around the rider's intended use and specific needs, ensuring that each bike's design revolved around them. Such an approach would enable riders to thoroughly examine their options and gain a comprehensive understanding of them. This envisioned space would embrace an artisanal approach to bicycle design, complete with color and material samples. The studio's focused nature would allow the staff to methodically design and build bikes while fostering creativity.

We are narrowly focused on delivering an experience. We do not have an inventory of bikes. Instead, we work closely with you to learn about your cycling goals and needs and from there we engineer a solution. We work with a small supply base, with whom we have decades of experience. By limiting our offerings, we foster a close relationship with the manufacturers and we thoroughly understand the products. This gives us confidence your bike will exceed your expectations. Our commitment to our suppliers has placed us among their top retailers globally. No small feat, especially for a single location retailer operating out of a small studio. At Velosmith Bicycle Studio, we don't just build bikes; we craft experiences. Let us create the perfect custom bike for you today.
