The best riding bikes in the world, uniquely made for you.
What is Argonaut Custom?
At Argonaut, we don’t just build bikes to fit your body—we engineer them to fit your ride. Every Argonaut Custom begins with the belief that your bike should perform as uniquely as you do.
The cornerstone of that process is the carbon layup. How each ply is layered and oriented directly shapes the way your bike feels on the road or trail. Two frames can share the same geometry on paper yet ride completely differently depending on the choices made at the layup table. That’s the difference between “custom fit” and Argonaut Custom.
Geometry then takes the story further. By refining angles and proportions around your biomechanics and riding style, we dial the last few percent of handling perfection into your frame. When geometry and layup come together, the result is a one-of-one machine that doesn’t just fit—you—it elevates you.
And finally, the finish. Choose from our expansive paint library, or collaborate with a designer to create something unmistakably yours. Because the ultimate custom bike isn’t just built for you—it looks like you, too.
Here is where your Argonaut truly comes alive. Most custom bikes promise to fit your body. We promise something more: a bike that fits your soul.
We begin with a geometry proven over thousands of hours on the road, one of thirteen meticulously crafted sizes; then take customization further than anyone else. The real transformation happens in a place you’ll never see but will feel in every ride: the carbon layup. This is where your bike becomes who you are. Your rhythm. Your fire. The way you surge into a climb or carve through a descent. We don’t just build to your specifications — we build to your spirit, to the rider you are when no one’s watching and the road ahead is yours alone.
Our layup is the foundation of a bike that doesn’t just respond to your power but anticipates it. It doesn’t mute the road but turns it into something pure; speed without struggle, feedback without harshness. Under your legs, the frame begins to vanish. Not the machine disappearing, but the boundary between you and forward motion. What remains isn’t carbon and fiber. It’s only flight.
This is the promise of Argonaut: a bike shaped not by numbers on a chart, but by the freedom you chase. Every invisible decision in the layup exists for one purpose — to dissolve into the ride itself, so that when the world drops away, there’s only breath, wheel, wind, and the feeling of moving as one.
The Argonaut Client Process.
From deposit to delivery, here’s what you can expect as we bring your dream bike to life. Every step is guided by our team in Bend, Oregon, ensuring a seamless, personal, and uncompromisingly premium experience.
Welcome & Rider Intake
The journey begins the moment you place your deposit. Ryan, our Head of Sales, will reach out personally to learn more about you—not just your measurements, but your story as a rider. Where do you ride? What inspires you? What’s missing in your current setup? This isn’t a form to fill out; it’s a conversation. Your answers become the blueprint for a bike that feels like an extension of your body, built around how you want to experience the road or trail. From the start, you’ll know you’re in expert hands, with a clear guide and advocate walking beside you the entire way.
Your position on the bike is the foundation of performance and comfort. Whether you visit us in Bend, work with one of our trusted retailers, or collaborate remotely, we’ll capture the precise data we need to design geometry around you. Ben, along with our lead fitter, will ensure your body finds its natural place in space, then refine every detail—stem length, bar width, crank choice—to achieve perfect balance. This isn’t about chasing trends; it’s about building geometry and a cockpit setup that will let you ride stronger, longer, and more confidently than ever.
Geometry & Fit
Component Selection
Next comes the build itself. With our UDH-compatible frames, you’re free to choose from the best modern drivetrains, wheels, and finishing kits available. Prefer a tried-and-true pro-level setup? Or a fully bespoke drivetrain built around your unique style of riding? Cory, our Product Manager and Technical Lead, will walk you through every choice, ensuring absolute compatibility and longevity. Together, we’ll refine every touchpoint so when the bike arrives, it’s not just custom—it’s your bike in every detail.
This is where Argonaut truly sets itself apart. Unlike most brands, we manufacture every frame entirely in-house at our facility in Bend, Oregon. From cutting carbon to molding, testing, and refining, our team controls every step under one roof. If your geometry requires new tooling, we machine it ourselves on-site. This level of vertical integration doesn’t just guarantee unmatched precision—it ensures your bike is made by the same people who welcomed you into the process. During this phase, the longest in the journey, you’ll receive progress updates and behind-the-scenes photos so you can watch your bike come to life in real time.

Paint & Finish
A true Argonaut doesn’t just ride differently—it looks unmistakably yours. Paul, our Head Painter, oversees every finish that leaves our facility. Start with our curated library of automotive-grade paints in bold, subtle, or timeless palettes, each engineered for durability with the thinnest possible application to preserve ride quality. Or, if inspiration calls for something truly one-of-one, we’ll pair you with our designer to craft a paint scheme as individual as your fingerprint. Whether it whispers elegance or shouts personality, your bike will carry your identity into every ride.
When your frame emerges from paint, it returns to our assembly floor for its final transformation. We build your complete bike to spec, set up tubeless tires, charge electronic drivetrains, test ride it to ensure perfection, and prepare it for its first miles. Each bike is carefully boxed nearly ride-ready: install the wheels, adjust the saddle height if needed, and you’re rolling. Planning to debut your bike at a destination ride or event? No problem—just let us know when you place your deposit and we’ll coordinate delivery anywhere in the world.
