Build your bike up to match your needs & your Budget
Complete Bike or Frame Only:
- There are nearly endless part options for complete bikes, to cover a wide range of budgets.
- Complete bikes feature competitive part pricing.
- Frame-only orders have a $150 cost over frames purchased with complete bikes.
- Accessories, tools and support parts are also available.
When you order a PVF, the process of selecting the parts to complete your bike can be tailored to your preference of how involved you'd like to be.
Keep It Simple:
You can simply give me a rough estimate of what your preferred budget is, and I can put together a build kit recommendation, custom for your exact needs to give you the best performance for your budget. The actual parts info, individual part prices, etc of each part that will make up the build kit will be available for transparency's sake, but there is no expectation that you have to understand it at all or even look at it.
Let's See Those Options:
For those who really want to see all the available options, compare their prices, and dig into the specs, you can choose every individual part. Get ready to have some fun!

Configuring Your Kit

The PVF Build Kit System:
What is the Build Kit Process?
I'll be putting together a couple of custom configurations for you to match your specific riding needs and cover a range of different budgets.

The PVF Build Kit Option System is only available to PVF frame customers after they have placed their deposit and are at the design & spec'ing phase of their build. The system is locked and password protected to only be available to PVF customers.
