The perfect all-rounder, our tough, versatile aluminum frames are hand built in Portland, Oregon and can be set up with a wide range of drivetrain, wheel and cockpit types to form the foundation for a gravel-ready all-road build or a functional and fun city bike. Our modular assembly process gives you infinite flexibility for personalizing your frame with color and component choices and the precision machined surfaces will turn heads wherever you go.

“I wanted to help bring back American bicycle manufacturing, even if it meant re-thinking some of the sacred cows of tradition”
Our build process balances machine precision with fine craftsmanship.
The precision Thru-Axle dropout option is a perfect complement to the clean lines of flat mount hydraulic disc brakes.
Every surface of our precision-machined lugs are thoughtfully considered to balance form, function and process.
Our horizontal dropout option is built for versatility. The 132.5mm spacing lets you build with almost any drivetrain including derailleurs, single-speeds, internally geared hubs, and even Gates belt drives.
Almost everything on our frames is sourced in the USA.
The CIRCA precision CNC’d bottom bracket shows an unyielding attention to matching process, beauty and function.
Have a story you want to tell? Our custom laser graphics and design services can make it happen.
Anodized Finish Options for 2023. CIRCA’s durable, weatherproof anodized finishes are tougher and lighter than paint. Our proprietary construction process gives you the ability to map accent colors to individual elements of the frame with limitless possibilities.
