BikeThe current range of Cunningham framesets are built with Dedacciai EM2 scandium alloy tube sets employing a curved, shock absorbing carbon rear triangle. After much consideration and research it is my opinion that this combination is the ultimate for a long term performance bicycle. The frames are in the same weight class as a full carbon monocoque (lighter than many), they have a resilient ride feel not unlike steel (none of that notorious ‘dead’ feel of most aluminums), and are immune to the worry of those chips and dings that can lead to catastrophic failure in a carbon main frame. They are also repairable if a tube is compromised. Also, the use of this type of frame material allows for a realistic cost for the small runs of custom sizing.

The seat tubes are also a larger diameter, at 32.4mm ID. This increases sprinting and climbing response while adding nothing to the harshness of the ride quality. The machined head tubes are slightly longer than the norm for a given frame size thus reducing the need for as many of those unsightly fork spacers.

BikeAll the junctions have a double pass weld. As well as minimizing the heat exposure to the alloy this process also creates a beautifully smooth joint without using the strength reducing filing process. No filler or even high build primer is used on these joints.

Unlike many of the manufacturers that claim ‘custom paint’ by simply subbing different colours on preset layouts, all Cunningham framesets are painted on an individual basis.

BikeAll the frames are chemically treated immediately after assembly to avoid any oxidization that would otherwise occur. The frames are primed with a special Dupont epoxy created for use on such a substrate. We also use only the finest colour and clear coats from the world finest paint manufacturers such as Glasurit, PPG and R-M. And remember, you can pick any colour/shade you want. Although... it’ll be subject to if I think it looks good.

We have a fairly wide selection of forks available from companies like Dedacciai, Reynolds and Advanced Carbon. All frames include a FSA headset, stainless bottle screws and a seat clamp.

We offer a wide selection of saddles, handlebars, stems, bars, wheels, tyres and other parts so that you can get the bike fine tuned to your requirements. Having said that, there is no shortage of items we won’t use on our bikes because they are below minimum quality standards (ours), heavy, a bad design, not necessary or just plain ugly. We have all seen the products from companies that put on a few good components then mix in some no name junk to increase profits.

There are no compromises here. All parts used on a Cunningham bicycle will be of excellent quality and up. Count on it.

These prices will be considered estimates as there is much more selection in components than shown here. We will tailor bar type/width, saddle and tire selection to your needs as well as of course, providing the frame which is correct for your personal measurements. All weights are w/o pedals.

At this point all customers may choose virtually any colour(s). Extravagant paint schemes may increase pricing.
