Hey! Welcome to Folk Engineered's site and thanks for visiting!

Folk Engineered is a Newark-based company that builds handmade custom bicycle frames with love and care. We work closely with our clients to design a frame specific to their measurements, their cargo, and their purpose. Folk Engineered aims to work with the concepts of pedal power to create dream bicycles, from the elegant simplicity of a traditional frame to an overly practical utility bike. We engineer bicycles for people. Check out what we've been up to:

And Again a New Website...
25 January 2010

Yes, I know, the site's only been up for about a month. But it definitely needed some upgrades. I think I've been looking at it too long... so if anyone else would like to help, please send your comments to marie@folkengineered.com. Thanks!

A homage to the old site:

Justin-Bike Ready for Powder
25 January 2010

Justin's frame and fork are ready for powder. The House Blend is going to be champagne-colored with hot pink funky decoration. And it's probably going to ride in LA or San Francisco or Portland or some other cities.

The seat cluster is just so beautiful - good work Ryan on the scalloping!

Kyle's heavy touring frame and fork are done. Quite excited to paint: brick red base, cream lugs, and pink lug outlines. Sweet...

Jake's Bike is Finished
25 January 2010

Jake's House Blend is finished, complete with Brooks leather saddle and leather handlebar tape. The fillet-brazed frame looks so nice with the new Folk Engineered's stickers. Jake took his bike on a few rides and loves it. Jake plans to go on tour this summer.
