THE TRUE STORY OF TRUE 36er BIKE

It all started as a simple idea. An idea to build a unique bicycle with 36-inch wheels. Then I started to look into the possibilities and discovered that a few guys had already made it happen, that is when the idea became a plan. It was obvious that such a bike would not only look amazing but have an extraordinary riding experience, too. And so the journey started... After a couple of months of exciting work the bike was born. A huge one. The TrueBike. Now, after riding it for a while I have to admit that my expectations have been exceeded. It's like riding a limo with a sports engine. Comfort meets elegance. Doesn't matter if you win, but be sure that everybody will notice you. And that is why I have decided to create this site. To bring you the opportunity to own this big-wheeled creature too.

ROLL OVER rocks, roots, curbs and stairs EASILY thanks to the BIG WHEELS. I mean REALLY BIG. Reach HIGHER SPEED with LONGER DISTANCE covered per pedal revolution. Higher air volume in tires makes your ride MORE COMFORTABLE. Enjoy better TRACTABILITY due to LOWER BODY CENTER of gravity relative to the wheel axle. Longer INERTIA completes your AWESOME RIDING EXPERIENCE.

ORDERING THE TRUEBIKE

Each and every one of our frames is unique, numbered and built according to a custom order. We do not build stock frames. Not two of our bicycles are completely identical. Geometry of the frame is designed so that two sizes fit the full range of riders height (additionally using different stem, seatpost, handlebars etc.). We believe that the birth of a bicycle is an adventure worth sharing with the customer. The manufacturing usually takes 2 to 4 months. Our bicycle frames come with a lifetime warranty. Once you have decided to have one (or more:) of our unique bike, please, follow these steps:

STEP 1: Download ORDER FORM below. Fill it carefully. It contains measurements of your body and the details of the bicycle, including colours, geometry drawing, components and special requests we need to know to built the frame which perfectly suits your needs.

STEP 2: Send the fullfilled form to: order@truebikes.eu

STEP 3: Once in possession of all the necessary information, we give you a final quote.

STEP 4: We kindly ask you to confirm price and conditions. The order is finalized upon receipt of the deposit, which is usually 50% of the price of the bicycle or frame in question. We only start building the frame after having received the advance money.

STEP 5: Your frame will be meticulously crafted from the ground up, start-to-finish. Lead times for frames are a very reasonable 8 weeks. Some more weeks take to complete the whole bicycle. We stay in touch with you and discuss any question that might arise throughout the building process.

STEP 6: The finished product is delivered in professional packaging, but pickup is also optional.

The TRUEBIKE is experimental bicycle, designed primary for city riding, commuting or medium level mountain biking. We do not recommend to expose the bicycle to hard conditions, like downhill riding, jumping, stair descent, U-ramp etc. These kinds of activities can cause frame damage and/or a serious injury to the rider. In case of extreme threatment of the frame we reserve the right to refuse your waranty claim. We believe it's never happen and you will be fully satisfied with your TRUEBIKE.
