I’ve been working on starting my own bike brand for almost a year now. It’s not public yet (so this isn’t an ad…) but I’d love to “hear some reddit thoughts” on it 💪🏽🙌🏽
Wow that is sleek! I love the geometry of the frame and I’m like the name. Awesome work.

Just seeing a picture isn’t gonna help with feedback aside from those who only like bike aesthetics.

Will it be available in Canada? What are the prices?
Edit: I just visited the website and it looks pretty cool

Looks cool but I’m more curious on how one goes about starting their own bike brand and what your thoughts were about how you make yourself different from the rest.

I checked out the site and this picture doesnt so it justice, the seatstays are beautiful box section and the handlebars really finish off the frame. I think oak bikes may be with us for a long time.

That looks like the Tavelo Arow. Is that an open mold frame?

Great brand name and logo. I could do without the “ultrapass” on the seatstay, but it’s not bad at all. Looks sleek, must be a pleasure to ride. British racing green is a nice choice. Definitely will follow on IG in less than a minute from now.

Cool! Who is making the frames? I’m really curious to know. It sounds like you’ve contracted with a Chinese factory, which one?
Also, did you design the layup and schedule? Or, are you relying on the manufacturer to do the design for manufacture? So, are you working with an OEM or ODM, or both?
I’ve put serious thought into starting a brand and purchasing open mold frames. I see so many open mold frames on the market that are selling for upwards of $4000 and it just irks me. I’d love to buy a few hundred open mold frames, get them painted here in the states, and pass them on for like $1200. Similar to the philosophy you have here.
I have access to a Shimano OEM account, so I could knock out completes for pretty cheap. What are doing? What is your plan?

Price point is really solid considering it includes a bbinfinite. Does that include the cockpit as well? Nice color choices and the color matched bar is a nice touch. Good luck with the launch!

First reaction I have is that the Dura Ace wheels seem to give it added legitimacy versus a lesser known, perhaps Chinese-made brand would, where the quality would not be a foregone conclusion. Not sure it should make a difference to how I judge the frame, but somehow it does. You just wouldn’t put top end parts and those wheels on a crap frame. I like the green. Makes the bike look substantial.

Are all these comments bought or fabricated or something? The frame looks nice but the logo doesn’t at all. And it looks like it was just photoshopped in. Don’t really like the name oak either. “Oh I got a new oak bike”. Sounds kinda weird

Don’t like the ‘ultrapass’ on seatstay. Otherwise nice 👍🏻

Looks great! How much for the frame?
I’d ride the shit outta that. I love it.
