Feast your eyes on these artisan bike builds
Enve Composites opened the doors of their HQ to the public last month for their fourth annual Builder Round-Up.
The Round-Up showcased the stunning handmade creations of more than 20 bike builders for the enjoyment of some 500 attendees.
Race capable classic ti road and gravel bikes, flat bar urban cruisers, wide-tired all-terrain adventure rigs and mountain bikes: the show featured a little bit of everything, and all were of course specc’d with Enve wheels and cockpits.
We selected 10 standouts to share with you, so grab a cup of coffee and feast your eyes on these elusive beauties.

Breadwinner G-Road
Builder: Breadwinner
Location: Portland, Oregon
Material: Steel
One of the clear crowd favorites during the Builder Round-Up, Breadwinner’s G-Road was the perfect example of how custom can deliver an aesthetic that other bikes can’t come close to. The steel fork features internal routing for the dynamo hub that powers the headlight. Matching to a whole new level, note the paint-scheme matching frame bag and Ski strap + tool wrap combo.

Enve’s own Custom Road Bike
Builder: ENVE
Location: Ogden, Utah
Material: Carbon Fiber
Made under the same roof as where the Builder Round-Up was being held, the Custom Road is ENVE’s definition of the modern road bike. The carbon bike features aero frame profiling and integration using their one-piece bar / stem. A Campy group along with the new SES 4.5 completed the build.
Festka ONE
Builder: Festka
Location: Prague, Czech Republic
Material: Carbon Fiber
Festka always brings a showstopper to the Builder Round-Up and this year's orange fade colorway is no different. The ONE showcases their carbon composite expertise paired with exquisite paint capabilities.
This new generation of the Festka ONE carbon road bike features internal cable routing, which paired with the ENVE Integrated Front-End makes for some really clean lines.
Isen
Builder: Isen Workshop
Location: London, United Kingdom
Material: Titanium
The Isen’s stunning confetti finish stole the show. Going with a straight titanium frame rather than the blending of carbon and titanium found on the Isen R3, this build includes ENVE’s one-piece bar and stem that is an option as part of their Integrated Front-End design.
Mosaic GT-1X
Builder: Mosaic
Location: Boulder, Colorado
Material: Titanium
Mosaic does gravel differently than most and the GT-1 X showcases that. The Boulder, Colorado based crew didn’t shy away from making it a monster gravel bike. Featuring Enve's AG25 wheels, Mosaic paired them with a 2.2 Donnelly mountain bike tire and opted for a flat bar for full effect. Also note the cute Dimension Woodpecker Bell.
No22 Drifter
Builder: No. 22
Location: Johnstown, New York
Material: Titanium
The Drifter is No.22's most versatile bike, and comes with the tagline: "Pavement optional. Adventure mandatory".
To that end, it features a tire clearance of up to 700 x 45mm or 650B x 50mm, disc brakes with standard thru-axles and any-road capable geometry.
On the No 22 website, this Made-to-Order bike already offer a dozen different paint schemes but for the bikeshow, No. 22 went all out. The show model received a unique paintj ob, an ENVE Integrated Front-End with AR Stem and AR Bar that routes the hydraulic brake hoses out of sight.
Pursuit All Road
Builder: Pursuit Cycles
Location: Bozeman, Montana
Material: Carbon Fiber
If you're a fan of the EF Education Easy-Post's aestehtics at the current Tour de France, you'll surely love this bright and loud All-Road from Pursuit Cycles.
Carl Strong and his Pursuit Cycles team set out to make the antithesis of a generic, assembly-line bike, includes the paint job.
The next stop after the Builder Round-Up for this Bozeman-made carbon frame is Tejay Van Garderen’s garage.
