Having a frame that fits you perfectly is a critical part of the process. We have over 20 years of bike fitting experience and data to call upon to ensure your riding position is absolute pinpoint. Our set frame sizes at 1cm increments will work very well for the majority of people but there is also a full custom geometry option (extra charge) should the set size not work for you.
Please see our sizing / geometry page
Each Excel is handmade to order in our Sussex workshop which gives us complete control over the whole process from start to finish. This means every frame can be tuned to the riders’ specific needs, whether it be custom frame geometry, tyre clearance, cable routing, eyelets, frame finish and more. For full bike purchases almost any specification is possible so if you have something in mind for your new bike build, just let us know and we can make it happen.
If you purchase a complete bike, it will be supplied fully assembled although a small amount of assembly may be required if the bike is shipped via a courier service. We can build a bike using components supplied by customers, please get in touch to discuss options and prices.
To get started call, email or book a workshop visit online via our website. We will discuss your riding style, your objectives and targets as well as considering any existing bike fitting data that you may have. This information will enable us to create a precise picture of just what you are looking for.
Alternatively speak to one of our chosen cycle retail partners to guide you through the process, all carefully selected for the expertise, facilities and service they provide
Once the design and specification are complete and signed off, we will request a deposit of £1000 to hold your production slot. Once the deposit has been made, your bike will then be added to our workshop build list. It’s at this point that we will collate all of your chosen build parts for assembly.
Please note, if you’re intending to pay through a cycle scheme then your deposit will be refunded once we’ve processed your voucher, normally upon handover of your bike or frameset.
Our current lead time is between 60 – 90 Days. For a painted finish please add an additional 30 days.
We work with all the major Ride to Work schemes including:

Frame Buying Options
Handmade frames built to perfection by the Enigma team here in our Sussex workshop. Every Signature frame is meticulously crafted to exacting standards using the finest hand selected materials and is designed to deliver exceptional performance combined with an aesthetic that is classic, beautiful and ‘British’.
Excel Ti64
Engineered from low density grade 5 6AL 4V titanium, harder than the more widely used 3AL 2.5V titanium, the Excel Ti64 exhibits outstanding characteristics. With a high strength-to-weight ratio combined with excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance, it’s a frame material that lends itself wonderfully to a premium build bicycle, where speed, smoothness and comfort combine in perfect harmony.
For all its undoubted benefits nothing comes easy with grade 5 6AL 4V titanium. The costs and difficulty of working with this remarkable material require all of our collective experience and knowhow as a team to harness its true potential. But once tamed, the result is a very special frame indeed. To further improve the Excel Ti64 for 2022, the frame now features 3D printed chain stay ends and disc brake mounts for additional strength and enhanced brake alignment accuracy. In addition, internal cable routing becomes standard along with the inclusion of a T47 bottom bracket shell, which not only allows for cable routing through the BB for a super-clean aesthetic but also increases lateral stiffness as well as ensuring an improved bearing interface. The Excel Ti64 delivers the ultimate titanium experience, not only in material quality but also frame finish, performance and bike handling.
Built to order and handcrafted to our highest standards, each Excel can be constructed to suit your specific riding conditions. Choose from Disc Road or Rim Brake Road and mechanical or electronic drive train configurations. House geometry with sizes in 1cm increments is standard and there is also the option of a full-custom frame design and build.
