OUR FRAMES

There are three core Temple frame designs that we have continuously evolved since 2014. We’ve designed them to be simple, lightweight, and versatile, keeping a classic aesthetic and riding characteristic.

We work with Reynolds Steel, who are based in Birmingham, to design and manufacture the steel tubing. The frames are fabricated in batches by our Taiwanese frame manufacturing partner known for their quality and craftsmanship.

PAINTING

We work with our Taiwanese frame manufacturer & Portuguese assembly factory to powder coat our frames in batches, giving them a protective finish and beautiful pastel tones.

HANDMADE HEADBADGE

The legendary Geoff Moorhouse carefully crafts our headbadges one at a time.
