Adelaide’s custom carbon gravel bike builders — Gothic Cycles

We’re mechanics.

We’ve spent our lives working on other people’s bikes – fixing problems, pulling things apart, always searching to make things better. It’s why Bio-Mechanics Cycles & Repairs has been one of Australia’s most respected independent bicycle workshops for over 20 years.

After decades of dealing with every bike brand under the sun, you discover what actually works, and what should be thrown into a dumpster and set on fire.

(Looking at you, proprietary in-built frame suspension.)

When our customers asked us for quality gravel bicycles, we went searching… and found a market chock-full of bikes that were compromised because the manufacturers were trying to hit a specific price-point.

Many high-end models were also eye-wateringly expensive.

(How is it that you can pay over $15K for certain bikes and still end up with a stock, off-the-shelf model? 💀)

We love Bossi frames for our titanium custom builds, and Veloci for steel projects, but we’ve never really found a carbon bike that truly satisfied our passions for perfection.

Sure, we could have taken the easy path and just put in a bike brand which might be a cinch to sell,
but it would mean we’d also be selling our souls.

We wanted something better, something we could be proud of.
But we couldn’t find a brand that met our standards.

So we built it ourselves.
