Folk Engineered Bicycles are truly custom. No two bikes look the same, but we find it helpful to start with a basic model. We designed out models for various common uses, including getting around town, everyday use, touring, road riding, and track racing. We design your bicycle starting with a model and building from there. Your bike is customized to suit your riding style, aesthetic preferences, and personality. This is conveyed through the choice of lugs, tubing, braze-ons, components, paint, and overall feel. Pick one of our models that best suits your needs and begin engineering your dream bike.
The House Blend is one of our models. Below are the House Blend's details that are included in the "starting at" price:
