Why Merlin Custom?
There are number of approaches to designing and building a custom bike. Some tout that based on a number of measurements and an interview over the phone, that they know exactly what kind of frame you need, what tubing is best for you and that they can specify a geometry that will exactly meet your needs. Others offer sophisticated measuring devices that steer you towards design philosophies that may or may not deliver on what you really need.

The Merlin approach is to rely on the collective expertise of your Merlin dealer and our custom designers, who are with you through the entire process and who can guide you toward the bike of your dreams. It is their critical eye that will ensure that you get exactly what you want and need. We take great pride in the expertise and experience that our dealers bring to the table. Once a series of measurements are collected and your riding style is clearly defined, the Merlin dealer will submit the details to our custom engineers. Our engineers, who have over 60 collective years of custom frame design, now enter the process and will play an active role with you and your dealer. We are here to answer any and all questions that may be on your mind. Don't hesitate to call us toll-free anytime throughout the process at 1-888-5MERLIN.
