Custom Bicycle Building Shop Pitch Deck - Investor-Ready in One Weekend

Why Now and What Problem Do You Solve

The market demands highly personalized, data-driven products, moving away from mass-produced bikes. Serious cyclists require a machine optimized for their unique physiology, a gap mass manufacturers cannot fill. Our data-driven bike fitting services solve the chronic issues of discomfort and inefficiency found in off-the-shelf bikes.

Focusing on Bespoke Performance

• Mass-market bikes lack true ergonomic fit.
• High-end buyers seek artisan quality and exclusivity.
• Performance gains require perfect geometry.

What Do You Do and Why Will You Win

We design and hand-build bespoke bicycles using premium materials like titanium and carbon fiber, anchored by a rigorous, data-driven fitting process. We win because our direct-to-consumer (DTC) model and meticulous frame building workshop business generate superior unit economics while offering unparalleled customization and customer experience.

Unit Economics for Custom Frames

Here's the quick math: A Titanium Road Racer sells for $12,500 in Year 1. The estimated unit COGS (materials like tubing, groupset, wheelset) is approximately $2,100. Even after accounting for variable costs (5.5% for shipping and commissions), the contribution margin per unit remains extremely high, allowing for substantial investment in master labor and quality control.

• Focus on high-margin, artisan craftsmanship.
• Direct sales cut distributor fees entirely.
• Strong relationships secure high-end component sourcing strategy.

Who Buys and How Big Is the Opportunity

Our primary customer segment is the dedicated cycling enthusiast and amateur racer seeking a personalized, high-performance machine. The opportunity is significant and profitable: the business breaks even quickly in February 2026 (2 months) and achieves a 5-year Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 21.41%. Still, we must manage the upfront capital expenditure (capex) for specialized equipment like the TIG Welding Station ($12,000) and Motion Analysis System ($35,000).

Financial Trajectory and Capital Needs

• EBITDA grows from $459k (Y1) to $1.408M (Y5).
• Minimum cash required is $1,148k in Feb-26.
• Breakeven occurs in just two months.
