Frequently asked questions
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Building a custom bicycle is a detailed process that typically takes 6 to 12 weeks from start to finish. Once your frame and components are sourced and assembled in our workshop, we’ll schedule your initial fit session to dial in positioning and fine-tune performance.
From there, we assess what refinements are needed to ensure the bike rides exactly as intended—before delivering the finished build.
If you're planning a custom bike as a gift or for a special occasion, we strongly recommend booking well in advance to allow enough time for sourcing, fabrication, and adjustments.
HOW MUCH DOES A BESPOKE BIKE COST?
Final pricing depends on several key factors: the complexity of the build (commuter, road, touring, cargo, etc.), the components and materials selected, and the level of customization involved. Because each build is unique, exact pricing is provided during an in-person consultation—where we walk you through options, fit considerations, and performance goals.
Our mission has always been to make high-quality, custom bicycles more accessible. That philosophy is reflected in our pricing and the transparent, rider-first process we follow every step of the way.
CAN I BRING MY OWN PARTS?
At Jersey City Bicycle Co., quality is our highest priority. That’s why we source components from trusted brands and manufacturers we know will deliver long-term performance and safety.
In most cases, we do not accept outside parts for custom builds—but we’re always open to discussion. Exceptions can be made if the parts meet our technical standards and are appropriate for the intended build. We’ll evaluate each request carefully during your consultation to ensure everything works together seamlessly.
Our goal is to build bikes that ride beautifully and last for years—and that starts with the right foundation.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN MY BESPOKE EXPERIENCE?
Every custom build at The Jersey City Bicycle Co. begins with a personalized consultation, where we take your measurements, riding preferences, and style into account. To begin the process, a non-refundable $150 deposit is required. This covers the sourcing of parts, as well as the initial consultation and planning of your build. The deposit is applied toward the total cost of the bike.
Once your build is complete, we schedule a final fit session to ensure everything feels right on the road. If any adjustments are needed, we handle them before delivery so your bike is ready for a perfect ride.
You’ll also receive one complimentary post-delivery adjustment within the first six months. Any changes needed after that window may incur a service fee, depending on the scope of work.
From start to finish, the experience is hands-on, collaborative, and built entirely around your ride.
