Custom Frameset Pricing

Tubing

Many of the tubes in our frames are custom drawn to our own specs. In addition, Yamaguchi Bicycles can make individual tube selections and substitutions to match your weight, riding style, and goals. Our own custom drawn and handpicked tubes allows us to make a frame that can be lighter than the lightest brand steel tubeset, if that is your aim - or - stiffer than the stiffest brand tubeset, if that is your aim. You will get the custom ride and frameset you want.

Koichi Yamaguchi was the official framebuilder to many US National and Olympic teams in both the track and road events in the 1990s. It is important to note that, unlike the sponsorship agreements of today, Yamaguchi Bicycles did not pay to become the sole provider of frames to Team USA, but in fact, was selected to be the official framebuilder to Team USA during this period. Each rider for the US National Team received frames custom tailored to their own unique riding style and preferences. This same level of customization is available to you in a Yamaguchi frame.

Frames include custom geometry and one single solid Imron color. Other tube and paint options are available upon request - please see our Custom Options page for details.

All frames are built start to finish solely by Koichi Yamaguchi.

A $500 nonrefundable deposit is required to place an order. Turnaround time from the time of a deposit is 120 days.
