UNDERCUT · CYCLE WORKSHOP
// UNIT 7 · 88 BEACONSFIELD STREET · ALEXANDRIA 2015 · EST. 2019

Steel custom builds. One frame at a time.

// A two-stand bike-workshop in a former tile factory on Beaconsfield Street. Hand-brazed steel road, gravel and touring builds. Restoration of vintage steel. A small parts shelf of considered components. Six bikes per quarter. No carbon. No exceptions.

// THE FIVE RULES

The rules of the workshop, in writing.

// Pinned to the workshop wall
// Since 2019
01

Steel. Always steel

// Reynolds 853, Columbus Spirit, Dedacciai Cromor. No carbon, no titanium, no aluminium. Steel rides better, dents quietly, repairs cleanly. Steel outlives carbon.

02

Six bikes per quarter

// Build slots open quarterly. Six bikes. Six riders. No catalogue. Every build is brief-led, pencil-drawn, and brazed in sequence. Cancel any time before braze-up.

03

The brief is the build

// Every build starts with a two-hour briefing. Routes, contact points, the kind of weather you ride in. The build only starts when the brief is right.

04

Local geometry by hand

// Every frame is jigged, measured, and hand-mitred in the workshop. No factory tubeset. No CNC. Brazed silver-fillet — the slowest joint, the strongest joint.

05

A lifetime service

// Every UNDERCUT bike comes with a lifetime annual service. We will see your bike back every year. We will straighten it. We will keep records.
