Bike Frames and Framesets

A bike frameset is where a custom build starts — the frame, fork, and headset that define your bike’s character before a single component is chosen. RA Cycles carries 344 framesets across road, triathlon, gravel, and mountain disciplines, from accessible carbon builds to the kind of race-specific platforms you won’t find at most retailers. The Pinarello Bolide F, BMC Timemachine, and Look P24 sit alongside road and gravel options from Colnago, Cervélo, ENVE, 3T, and more.

Building from a frameset is how serious riders get exactly the components they want — groupset, wheels, cockpit, and saddle chosen for fit and function rather than spec’d to a price point. Whether you’re building a race-ready time trial machine or a road frame that fits the way no complete bike off the shelf ever has, this is where it starts.

Building from a Frameset

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.

R&A Cycles - 50th Anniversary

50 YEARS AND COUNTING

From a Brooklyn storefront to flagships in Walnut Creek and Miami, from handwritten mail orders to a fully digital custom bike builder — RA Cycles has spent half a century doing one thing: serving riders who demand the best. That half-century belongs as much to you as it does to us. The riders who kept coming back, who sent their friends, who trusted us with bikes that matter — you're the reason we're still here. Here's to the next fifty.
