Why a Strnad custom bicycle
frame?
Technology is changing very fast. Bicycle tube manufacturers are using
new materials both metal and carbon fiber that are stronger and lighter
than ever before. The tubing diameter, shape, butting (frame tube
thickness at each end), wall thickness, bonding techniques
and chemical composition (both metal and carbon) have all changed in
recent years. I don't jump on every radical development that pops up
on the frame building market, but I do
follow the latest technology to be able to create
a bicycle that is light, strong and rides better than ever before.
A Strnad Custom Bicycle Frame gives you the best
body weight distribution over the bicycle and an optimum pedaling position.
This will improve your performance, comfort, and riding enjoyment for
years to come. I build all Strand Custom Bicycles to your specific riding
needs.
I take into consideration these very important
factors when measuring and building a Strnad Custom Bicycle Frame that
fits properly:
- Your body shape
- Age
- Cycling experience
- Amount of riding you do
- Type of terrain you ride
- Your fitness level
Then:
- I personally inspect every frame I build
- I personally test every frame I build
- I guarantee every Strnad Custom Bicycle Frame

Our steel bicycle frames are TIG welded, in a protective
atmosphere of Argon gas inside and out of the frame tubes, which prevents
burning and/or weakening of the ultra thin tubing material. Our carbon
frames utilize the latest aerospace quality adhesives. All construction
and welding are completed in a precision jig. This fabrication method
guarantees exact dimensions and perfect frame alignment and fit. After
custom painting with your choice of color I personally assembly your
Strand bicycle to your specification with Campagnolo or Shimano components.
Of course, all Strnad Custom Bicycle Frames are made for 1-1/8" headsets.
