Merlin Metalworks history dates back to 1986 and has long been regarded as the “Original”, Made in USA, bespoke titanium frame builder. Titanium has always been considered the ultimate frame-building material and Merlin was one of the first to bring it to the custom bike market. Our double-butted titanium tubing is very light, durable, and when fabricated properly, yields a frame that is incredibly compliant. Nothing else rides quite like a Merlin.
At Merlin Metalworks, everything we design and build is done with intention and engineering intelligence. Beyond the custom tubing selection process we go thru with each customer, we are highly focused on intelligent design that ensures the final hand-crafted frame achieves the highest tolerances for frame alignment, compliance, and torsional rigidity … all of which ultimately translates to best in class ride quality.
We create Singular Builds for our customers. Our frames are built-to-order for cyclists that demand the very best and are meticulously handcrafted from Reynolds Technology double-butted titanium tubing. Our hand selection of specifically sized tubing results in material weight savings compared to a typical straight-gauge frame, with absolutely no sacrifice in ride quality or torsional rigidity and a noticeably smooth ride under harsh conditions. Our frames are light, durable and strong….and are meant to be ridden for a lifetime.
Merlin's attention to detail is legendary. From the beautifully designed head badge featuring the famed bird of prey, to the s-bend stays, to the uniform welds at each juncture, every handmade aerospace grade titanium bike is not only a work of art but a feat of engineering.
