“Soon after I got my Lighthouse back to Kansas, and was on a 100K ride, I was stopped at a rest stop and the bike was standing against a guardrail. As a group of riders passed, I overheard someone say something about a Lighthouse, and several of them stopped and returned to check out the bike. It seems to me that when a bike can make someone stop cold and return to check it out, with no advertising, it has considerable appeal. I couldn’t be happier as the bike is a perfect fit and always a joy to ride.”

"The most beautiful thing about a custom bike is not just what you see, it's what you feel" - Tim Neenan

 

Lighthouse custom frames are made from the finest steel bicycle tubing in the world.

From the first Lighthouse in the 70's I have been a fan of fine Columbus tubing crafted in Italy. I select each tube for your specific needs from a selection of Columbus Spirit and Life tubes. These are state of the art, super strong and light tubes.

Each tubeset is selected for the rider's physiology and intended use. Low temperature brazed construction features either gorgeous hand-filed lugs or perfectly flowing fillet brazing. This ensures that the tubes are unaltered by excessive heat. All tubing is machine mitered, jig brazed and precision table aligned for perfect adherence to the design ideal.

The result is a frameset that is lightweight, dependable and beautiful.

Base price for a compact or standard geometry, fillet-brazed or lugged Columbus frame with a complete complement of braze-ons including front derailleur mount, one color paint, Ritchey WCS UD Carbon fork or Lighthouse custom steel fork is $1800. Upgrade your new frame with a painted to match, Enve Composite fork for $150.

A deposit of $1000.00 is required when placing an order with balance due when the frame is complete.
