Why Custom?
Why Choose a Custom Bike Frame?
When you can buy almost any bicycle or part from many different stores, the question you ask yourself is, "Why buy a custom KGS Bicycle?". There are many answers, and here are a few:
- We focus on "friends for life" by getting to know the actual needs of our clients and can therefore recommend products specifically for them, based on this long-term relationship.
- We have over 25 years of study in bicycle fit and positioning..
- We have knowledge of what goes into great components and frames. This is built on Kevin Saunders' experience in industrial design and structural engineering, plus high accountability manufacturing.
- KGS Bikes business model serves a niche where we can perform flawlessly and we let others sell commodity products.
- We want to educate our friends so they understand why they are choosing a particular product. We then work very hard to provide the best example of that product.
- We empower our friends by teaching the skills related to choosing products, maintenance and repair, and riding skills.
