Although our reputation is built around beautiful and highly rideable titanium frames we are often asked to build in steel. Many customers still remember the days when Mark was known for his expertise in working with steel and the time now seems right to introduce a steel beauty to the Enigma range. Enter the Elite. Bespoke only, the Elite is handcrafted from Mark's favourite steel tube set, Columbus Spirit, mating old school artisan techniques with a modern, contemporary twist! Featuring stunning mirror polished dropouts and bosses the Elite is designed for those who still want the real feel of steel. 

Roadcyclinguk.com were the first to see the Elite and you can read what they thought here.

Open day!

We held an open day on Saturday the 16th of February. The Venue was the Ramada Jarvis hotel in Nottingham. The open day was very well attended and we may follow this with other events around the country.

LAB launched!

LAB has been developed as our true "custom" area. Although of course it is possible to customise any of our regular frame designs, some customers want more. They want something truly bespoke in every way, something unique in terms of design and usage. This is the reason for "LAB".

There are so many different projects that we are asked to work on, some of which are very exciting and challenging and although we would like to include them in our range it just isn't possible. For this reason we have created our LAB area where all ideas are open to everyone. If you are looking for something special but cannot find it off the shelf, and if we think it will work, then we will turn your ideas into reality.

Current LAB projects include:

A titanium road frame weighing a kilo.

A mountain bike frame where the seat tube is not connected to the top tube and seat stays, in an effort to bring higher comfort levels.

A single speed all titanium Eulogy, see photo.

A cyclo cross frame with switch-able dropouts, one set for disc mounts and another set for single speed so the bike can be used as a town bike when not being raced.

A touring frame with slider dropouts for a Rohloff hub.

A ladies mixte touring frame with bags of stand-over clearance.

All of the above are not part of our standard range but are also possible within LAB as truly bespoke frames, 100% personalized to meet your needs.

At Enigma we understand Titanium alloys. We have learned how to unlock the secrets of this remarkable metal. We build only in Titanium because we believe it is the very best material for bicycle frame construction. Enough said.
