Further information on our sizing and frame geometry can be found here.

When ordering a frame or bike directly through our website, we kindly ask for payment in full at the time of purchase. However, if you're interested in a custom build and prefer to discuss your options with us via phone, email, or during a visit to our showroom, we operate slightly differently. In these cases, we would ask for a deposit of £1000 for a full bike or £750 for a frameset to secure your order.

This deposit not only ensures your commitment to the build process but also allows us to begin sourcing the necessary components. Once your deposit is received, our team will work closely with you to finalize the details of your custom build, ensuring every aspect aligns perfectly with your preferences.

It's important to note that if you're planning to utilize a cycle scheme to cover the cost of your purchase, your deposit will be refunded once we've processed your voucher, typically upon the handover of your completed bike or frameset. This ensures a smooth and hassle-free experience for our customers while adhering to the requirements of cycle scheme providers.

We strive to have bikes ordered through the bike builder ready in under 2 weeks (subject to availability). If it's anticipated to take longer, we'll notify you promptly.

Custom builds, featuring upgraded finishes or personalized specifications, typically require more time, usually 3-4 weeks. For frames/bikes with paint, we generally allow approximately 60 days from the deposit date.

Upon completion of your new bike or frameset and its readiness for handover, we'll reach out to settle the outstanding balance. We happily accept all major debit/credit cards and work alongside prominent Ride to Work schemes, as outlined below. Please be aware that due to higher commission rates associated with certain schemes, a surcharge will apply. Moreover, we offer the convenience of financing through V12.

To simplify the process, we kindly ask for information regarding your preferred payment method, whether through a scheme or our financing option, when placing your order.

Reviews

David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes

"I’ve been riding this Enigma Etape through the winter to showcase the benefits of having a dedicated winter bike that is designed and set up to cope with all the demands that this time of year puts on bikes and cycling. This is my final review on the bike and I’ve listed six reasons this bike really shines and why I think you need a bike like this in your collection".

“I was asked by my friend who owns a bike shop to test ride a finished bike for a customer before he collected it, he had requested it be ridden before collection. It was an Enigma Etape. I was so impressed with it I told my friend that I would have on as soon as I could justify it. In late 2019 I managed to justify it! And became the proud owner of a new Etape, with 12 speed Record groupset and Hope hubs and brakes. I rode 84 hilly miles on it on my first trip out, and absolutely loved it. I have ridden a good few thousand miles on it since in complete comfort, riding from Lancashire over to North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and Cumbria most weekends. I have a very expensive carbon fibre top of the range Italian bike from one of the bike world’s most prestigious manufacturers, which cost me a few thousand pounds more than the Etape, but if I had to sell one, I would keep the Etape”.
