When we started designing the Dame, we knew exactly what we wanted: a bike that lasts, that feels good to ride, that’s ready from day one.
The cycling industry keeps pushing high-end materials and complex components. But most people don’t need all that.
So we chose a different path. We made a bike for real riders.
Built to Ride, Built to Last
We use 4130 chromoly because it’s strong, smooth, and built to last. It absorbs vibrations, handles better under weight, and won’t leave you stuck if something breaks far from home.
Our frames are double butted, which means the tubing is thicker at the joints and thinner in the middle. That gives you strength where it matters, less weight where it doesn’t, and a ride that feels light, responsive, and solid.
People think steel is heavy. The Dame isn’t. It’s light for its class, and it feels great to ride.
As a final step, we apply an ED coating to protect against rust and corrosion, then seal it with liquid paint.
We want your bike to look good and stay solid for years to come. It’s built so well, we don’t think twice about offering a lifetime warranty on the frame and fork.
Geometry That Feels Good
We designed the Dame to feel stable, confident, and smooth, whether you’re riding with gear or just heading out for a quick spin.
It has a neutral trail, a comfortable reach and stack, and a moderate fork offset that keeps the handling responsive without feeling twitchy.
We built it around 650b wheels because they make the ride more fun, more controlled, and more comfortable on rough terrain. Paired with wide tires, they keep the bike planted without feeling sluggish.
It also comes with drop bars for better control on loose terrain, more hand positions, and added comfort on longer rides. That choice helped shape the whole bike.
We chose thru axles, front and rear, to give the frame extra stiffness and better tracking, especially when cornering or riding fully loaded.
This isn’t a hybrid in disguise. It’s a true gravel bike.
Make It Personal
A bike feels better when it feels like yours. That’s why we designed the Dame to be flexible, adaptable, and expressive.
With great tire clearance, you can choose wider tires for grip and comfort, or go slimmer and faster if that’s your style.
With multiple mounts for bottles, racks, and fenders, it’s ready for commuting, bikepacking, or whatever setup you have in mind.
And then there’s the look. We offer a range of color options, because style matters, and we want you to see yourself in the bike you ride.
Equipped Right from the Start
The Dame comes ready. No upgrades needed before your first ride.
- Continental gravel tires: good grip, fast rolling, and tubeless ready
- Double butted spokes with brass nipples: strong, light, and durable
- Microshift Sword 1x10 drivetrain: clean, simple, and easy to maintain
- Mechanical disc brakes with Jagwire cables: smooth, reliable, and no drama if they need a tune-up
- Selle Royal saddle: surprisingly comfortable
-
Pedals included: most bikes don’t come with them (but we think they should!)
Nothing overbuilt. Nothing missing. Just smart, honest choices.
Your bike arrives mostly assembled, but we recommend having someone with bike experience finish the setup.
Just the Beginning
The Dame keeps evolving.
We listen to bike nerds, weekend riders, mechanics, and even people who haven’t touched a bike in years. Every version is shaped by real feedback, tested on real roads, and refined with care.
We’re not a big brand. We’re a small team trying to do things right. We build good bikes, make fair choices, and keep quality within reach.
If it feels like the right one, don’t let it get away.
