📍Where Do We Ship From?

Your custom frame will be shipped from Shenzhen, China.

As a major manufacturing hub in China, Shenzhen offers well-established logistics networks to ensure your frame arrives safely and quickly.

📦When Will My Frame Ship?

Once we receive your custom frame order, we'll get production started right away.

Production Time: Custom painted frames take approximately 5-6 weeks to produce

Once production is complete, we'll reach out to confirm all the details with you. After you approve, we'll ship your frame immediately so you can get riding as soon as possible.

📏How Do I Find My Frame Size?

Getting the right frame size is crucial. Here's how to measure the three key numbers:

1

Height

Stand against a wall wearing your regular riding shoes. Keep your head level and measure from the floor to the top of your head.

2

Inseam

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart wearing your riding shoes. Place a book or flat object snug against your crotch, measuring from the floor to the top of the book.

3

Shoulder Width

Stand naturally and measure the straight-line distance between the outer edges of your shoulder joints.

Frame measurement guide

Follow the diagram above to measure: height, inseam, and shoulder width

Measurement Tips

  • Take multiple measurements and average them for better accuracy
  • Stand straight while measuring — don't tip-toe or bend over
  • Wear the same shoes you'll ride in
  • Share your numbers with our team for professional size recommendations
