Sweating The Details
Every line, edge and surface has a purpose.
Whether it’s the diamond-chamfer edge of our lugs or the subtle directional hand-grained textures we work into each component before frame assembly, each CIRCA frame is a deep story balancing form, function and process.
What our customers are saying
PERSONAL SERVICE
It’s a little old school, but we believe in working directly with our customers to get to know your cycling needs.
DURABLE WEATHERPROOF FINISHES
Our sapphire-hard anodized finishes are lighter and tougher than paint and impervious to the harshest weather.
OREGON BUILT AND SOURCED
We’re deeply committed to local production. Our frames are built by hand to your specifications in Portland, Oregon using locally sourced materials and processes.
CUSTOMIZATION AND FIT
A bike should fit you perfectly. Your CIRCA will be tailored to your body type, riding needs, and aesthetics, right down to the laser graphics.
QUICK CUSTOM
Your custom bike can be built in as little as 4 weeks, which is a fraction of the time that most custom builders require.
LASER GRAPHICS
Our custom laser graphics options can inspire, tell a story or celebrate your brand. Work with our designers or provide your own artwork.
Geometry: Two Fit Options
Standard and Short-Reach
For sizing and to optimize the fit of your CIRCA, we offer 2 geometry types: Standard and Short-Reach. We think of it as Quick Custom. There’s no extra charge for either option.
Our Standard geometry works for about 90% of riders with typical proportions. The Short-Reach variation pulls in the cockpit a little to accommodate riders with shorter torsos or who may want a more upright position.
Standard Geometry
Best for riders with typical proportions who have no problems fitting stock geometries.
Short Reach Geometry
Riders who have long legs compared to their overall height (and a shorter torso) may prefer the fit of our Short Reach geometries. This fit can also suit riders who want a more upright position.
