Guide for Choosing a Bike Friday
Intro Text
Bike Fridays come in 3 types with several models each:
1. Standard Bike Fridays– Faster delivery than custom bikes, these stock models are less expensive as we can plan ahead for them. They are built the same way in the same production cell as the Custom 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 Custom Bike Friday model. We are here to help. See available stock bikes.
2. CUSTOM 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 Custom Bike Friday is truly uniquely yours. Many upgrades with components and color choices on a custom frame built from raw tubes to your measurements. They have the longest lead times (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. See the order process. See a complete model list and sample designs.
3. 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 3 Bike Friday types. One of these should be right for you and we are here to help you find the Bike Friday configuration that will best fit your needs, budget, or the Bike Friday of your dreams.
