Eliancycles designs and builds handcrafted, tailor-made bicycles. Every bicycle is unique. Long-lasting, simple, functional and with his own look is what Eliancycles defines.

The frames of Eliancycles are handcrafted from 25CrMo4 steel. The robust construction is designed to last a lifetime. Eliancycles uses steel because it is both strong and flexible. Flexibility absorbs shocks and provides a smooth ride. The strength guaranties a reliable long-life. All components are a balance of durability and performance. The components are selected to complement the quality of the frame.

Ordering


Contact us by phone or e-mail if you want your bike built by Eliancycles. We make an appointment or we send you a form with all the information needed for a proper offer.


Process


Before we can start building your very own bike we need to be sure you get the bike that fits your requirements. Therefore we draw up an agreement with the specifications of your bike. In addition we ask for a deposit. After finalizing these formalities you will get a bike number and we will start the building process.


During the building phase we will keep you updated by e-mail and blog, so you can follow the state of affairs of your bike. When you would like to see your bike for real during the process, you are welcome to visit my building place. After 6 till 8 weeks the bike is ready for the paintjob. Before we start the paint process, you can choose a color. You can send us a sample, a car paint-number or a RAL number. Depending on the complexity of the bike the total building time will be between 10 and 12 weeks before delivery.


There are several options for the delivery of your bike. Within the Netherlands Eliancycles can bring the bike to you. The bike can also be delivered with PostNL. Dispatching the bike abroad is by way of PostNL. The bike is sent to you in two big boxes. Please note that you have to do the final assembly yourself since the bike does not fit in one box due to maximum sizes employed by PostNL. Costs of personal delivery or dispatching through PostNL are available on request. All packages are sent sealed with a track and trace system. Naturally, you are also most welcome to pick up your handcrafted bike yourself. 


Policies

Eliancycles builds all the bikes on client demand. If you decide to order a bike we ask a 40% deposit of the total building amount. This deposit is 100% non-refundable.

Please note that Eliancycles only builds complete bicycles. We do not sell framesets.



 

    ← A one-man Factory by Elian Veltman

    Building bicycles is part of my DNA. My great-grandfather was the owner of a bicycle shop. As a teenager I started working in one. Repairing these bikes gave me ideas about designing new bicycles.

    During my study automotive engineering in 2005, I started building my first bikes. I especially enjoyed building and riding Track bikes because of their simplicity in nature. Ideas about functionality, design and quality combined led to the Eliancycles Cargobike and Commuter bikes.

    I now have my own bicycle building place where I design and build custom made bicycles, using solid tools and machines from an old European bicycle factory. Check the Eliancycles flickr account for photos about the bicycle building process.

    If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail.



    Best,
