Bike Fridays come in 2 types with several models each:
1. Built-to-Order BIKES – We believe a cyclist needs the right bike in the right size to be effective and comfortable. Building these custom sized and appointed Bike Fridays is what we made our reputation with. A customized Built-to-Order Bike Friday is truly uniquely yours. Many upgrades are available in components and color choices on your custom sized and Built to Order Bike Friday. The frame is built from raw tubes to your measurements. They have the longest lead times (about 4 weeks, sometimes more in the spring) and require a bigger investment, but if right for you, the best deal. If these are of interest to you, we are good at walking you painlessly through the design and choosing process. You can call us or click here to e-mail. See the order process. For our New 2009 Models, click here. See a complete model list and sample designs.
2. Standard Bike Fridays– Faster delivery than Built-to-Order bikes, these standard and usually stocked models are less expensive also as we can plan ahead for them. They are built the same way in the same production cell as the Built-to-Order Bike Friday models but in standard sizes with less options. Which is just right for a lot of folks. Just call or e-mail if you aren't sure if you need a Standard or a BTO Bike Friday model. We are here to help. To view our 2009 Standard Models, click here. See available Standard bikes.
3. Plus we often have Pre-Owned BIKE Fridays – If you live in the continental U.S, you could be lucky and find a great pre-loved bike that fits your needs and is the right size. These will have faster delivery times than custom bikes (even with our many step refurbish process time) and require less investment. Used Bikes have the same 100% guarantee that all the other Bike Fridays have. Only available in the 48 contiguous United States.
So these are the Bike Friday types. One of them should be right for you. We are here to help you find that Bike Friday configuration that will best fit your needs, budget, or the bike of your dreams.
