Tailor Bike: the bicycle sewn together with you
Not just bikes, but stories that cycle back to life
Do you have an old bike in your cellar just waiting to be brought back to life? Or are you dreaming of a unique piece built around your desires? Tailor Bike is our creative customization service. Taking an old frame in hand doesn't just mean restoring an object, but recovering stories, journeys, and emotions. At Ciclofficina Sociale, the client is an integral part of the process: from color selection to components, every detail is decided together to transform an old vehicle into a "new" adventure companion.
Average completion time: 14-21 days.
We regenerate your story
Much more than a simple mechanical restoration
Together with you, we breathe new life into old bicycles full of memories. Our Tailor Bike service combines artisanal expertise with your personal vision, transforming a forgotten frame into a unique piece ready to travel into the future. It's our passion for restoration that turns iron into emotion in motion.
Creative Restyling
Total customization for an inimitable vehicle
You choose the color, components, and setup; we provide the technical expertise. From frame sandblasting to powder coating, every step is carefully managed to guarantee you a bicycle that reflects your personality and meets the highest safety standards. This is where your vision takes shape and becomes a reality.
How your Tailor Bike is made
Our 6-step method, from idea to road
1. The Meeting
Let's define the project together based on your style and intended use: urban, sporty, or bikepacking.
2. The Project
We study the best frame and technical solutions to make your frame high-performing and safe.
3. The Colour
Choose your ideal shade from the RAL scale. The frame is sandblasted and powder-coated for durability.
4. Components
Together, we select new or vintage parts from our catalogs to give your bike the character you're looking for.
5. The Workshop
Now let's move on to assembly. If you wish, you can watch the work and see your bike take shape on the stand.
6. Let's Ride!
Your Tailor Bike is ready. A unique, numbered and personalized piece, ready for its new life with you.

ANDREA's Tailor Bike
Andrea is a customer who knows what he wants. From his old bike, he wants a "new" one that is light blue, with high-flange white flip-flop wheels and, most importantly, with his original saddle and a 50T chainring... because he wants to push hard and go fast on his bike.
ALESSANDRA's Tailor Bike
A classic: the boyfriend who gifts his beloved a beautiful bike. Obviously, the chosen color is passion red: well done, Andrea! A women's 26" Holland bike with a spacious front wooden crate. Colored tires, saddle, grips, pedals, and crate... all matching.
FEDERICO's Tailor Bike
Federico contacted us with a clear idea: he was looking for a bicycle with a sporty, refined style, capable of navigating city traffic but also ready to accompany him on his cycling weekends away. This led to a dialogue that transformed a desire into a shared artisanal project.
