Dreamweavers
We can design a completely new bike from scratch, working with you to produce the drawings for your own custom frame and specifications.
Hand crafted custom titanium road, mountain and gravel bike frames. Get in touch to design yours.

Expert Design, Obsessive Build
Every Sonder bike is designed and built by us.
We design the frame, build the protos and test on the trails.
Interchange components, swap out wheels or make upgrades.
Have a custom request? No problem, give us a call and we'll make your dream build a reality.
Epic Rides
There's a moment on every ride when something shifts.
It might be quiet - that second when the traffic fades and your breathing takes over. Or loud - the whoop that escapes on a perfect descent, the grin you can't wipe off after a sketchy section finally goes clean. It's the small victories. The shared suffering. The silent miles. The stories you bring home.
We call them Sonder Moments - and they're what Epic Rides is all about.
