The Builder:
Hi, I’m, Pierre I am the owner, designer, and builder at Blaze Bicycles. We are a small workshop creating handcrafted bicycles one at a time. As a lifelong rider, my excitement for cycling started a kid when I discovered the freedom my bike provided. That experience led me to a passion for all kinds of cycling! My obsession with craftsmanship combined with my love for bikes led me to start producing my own bicycles frames. Over the last decade, Blaze Bicycles has become a go-to shop for riders who want exceptional bikes to ride.
Custom Bikes:
Bespoke, custom, handmade bikes are at the core of what we do at Blaze Bicycles. Each custom bike is a collaboration with the owner. We take the time and effort to listen to your needs. Since we build each bike one at a time it’s fundamental to our process to involve you in the project. The bikes we produce not only solve your problems but also carry our style and quality. Let us guide your dream to reality.
Production Bikes:
We produce limited-edition production runs of bicycles. This allows us to produce more bikes for people to enjoy! We provide popular models and styles to riders who may not need a full custom bike. We bring the same level of quality and attention to detail to these bikes.
The Materials:
Titanium is the preferred material here at Blaze. It is not only light and strong it also has a legendary ride quality. Add to this that it is also corrosion resistant and it starts to emerge as a super material for bikes. We also apply our custom logos and graphics using anodizing with results is a stunning finish for a truly one-of-a-kind bike. See what others say about titanium.
Steel or “chromoly” is also avaialble. This is the traditional material from which the modern bike emerged. while this material is heavier than titanium it provides riders with great ride quality and a strong frame that all other materials try to equal. We use a custom blend of Reynolds and Columbus tubing to create epic bikes for you to ride on.
Process:
Most often we sell complete bikes directly to the customer. You can choose from one of our production models or have us design your custom one of kind bicycles from scratch. If you are having us build you a custom bike the process starts with a deposit that places you in our build queue. You are encouraged to call or email us with questions. Once we receive the deposit we conduct an interview to ensure we understand not only what type of bike you want but other details that are desired. We also collect your measurements in person or via our web form. Once you advance in the cue we submit a CAD design of your bike for you to review. We make adjustments to the design until we have arrived at a final design. We also collect information on what components you will want on the full bike. You can choose just a frame, frame fork, and headset, or have us kit your entire bike out.
If you are lucky and we have a production bike that suits your needs in stock, it will be listed on this website and you can add it to your cart and simply buy it. Of course, feel free to contact us if you have any questions or want help to kit your bike out. We are here to help!
Our Values:
We believe that bikes are more than the sum of their parts, they should have a soul. Rather than stamping out bikes based on the lowest common denominator and with cost reduction in mind we prefer to build bikes with only the finest material and to the highest specs. Unlike more mainstream brands we design the bike around you rather than try to fit you on the next closest thing the might fit you. Domestic production and sustainable business models are also important to us.
Location:
We are located in sunny Moab, Utah. This is a mecca for mountain biking and home to some amazing and world-famous trails! While we are less know for road biking the rides we do have are simply epic. We have seen an increase in bike packing and touring in our region and we fully support this trend for adventure! Many of our customers choose to combine picking up their bike with a vacation to Moab. We look forward to seeing you in our town! Check out some of our trial resources.
