Argonaut Cycles
Bend, Oregon, USA: Supernaut GR3
The Supernaut takes everything we’ve learned from years of custom carbon manufacturing and distills it into the purest interpretation of Argonaut ever. With its progressive geometry, wide tire clearance, ultralight raw carbon finish, and data-proven ride tune, the Supernaut GR3 redefines the boundaries of gravel. Made for railing corners, devouring washboards, conquering technical climbs—this bike inspires you to explore your limits because it has none.
- Material Used: High Pressure Silicone Molded (HPSM) Carbon Fiber
- Build Kit: Featuring a SRAM Red/XX AXS Mullet with a WolfTooth oval chainring, titanium eeWings cranks from Cane Creek, a copper SRAM Eagle chain, a Reform saddle, Schwalbe G-One R tires, and full ENVE touchpoints with SES 4.5 wheels.

Épernay, France: Instinct
Instinct is a long time project to combine the best of two worlds, titanium and carbon. The goal is to create a bespoke frame with the best power transfer possible without confort compromised. This is why we used 3D printed titanium headtube, seat junction and dropout as lugs combined with high modulus custom carbon tubing in the front triangle and seat stays. We conserved Titanium chainstays to reduce vibrations and optimized tires/crankset clearance. This new bike in the bike show configuration is 6.9kg in large size. Available at the end of 2024 in an allroad version and a gravel version for the start of 2025 with optimized carbon layup and geometry.
- Material used: 3D printing Titanium lugs to make the junction with the Carbon filament wound tubing. Fully titanium welded chainstays on 3D printed dropout to optimized tires / crankset clearance.

Breadwinner Cycles
Portland, Oregon: Lolo Modern Road Bike
“The Lolo was made to dance up mountains and carve twisty descents. Mixing ultra-light and responsive Columbus Life tubing with decades of road racing and riding experience, this smooth riding, light steel tubing is TIG welded with precision and fitted with an Enve carbon fork, which results in a refined performance machine. A modern road bike in design and style, with sloping top tube and double oversize tubing, the Lolo is a fast and responsive road machine that works and feels great all day long.”

Cicli Barco
Piazzola sul Brenta, Padova, Italy: Quinta Strada
Quinta Strada represents our spearhead in terms of research and development as it combines the best qualities of stainless steel and carbon. Today we take a step further by working on a dedicated tubeset for the gravel version. Building a Quinta Strada frame requires almost twice as long as a traditional frame. We start with the whole steel structure, secondly we work on the junctions, each one hand filed and then comes the time for the carbon tubes.

Ogden, Utah: ENVE Custom Road
The ENVE Custom Road is available with two unique personalities–Race and All Road. While identical in appearance, each has been tuned for a range of specific tire sizes and rider styles. “At the foundation of performance is bike fit and geometry. If those two fundamentals are not established, all the engineering wizardry and space age materials in the world won’t save your ride. You need an optimized fit and tuned geometry to give you the confidence and comfort needed to reach your performance potential.”

FiftyOne Bikes
Dublin, Ireland: Custom Gravel
If you were in the sport back in the 90’s you will understand the inspiration for this Custom Gravel bike. The Klein theme is an eye-catcher three decades after the original. It’s not only the paint that distinguishes this Custom Gravel – the integration with ENVE’s IN-Route front-end gives the old-school look a modern update.

Eugene Oregon: TT Mk3
The TT Mk3 evolves features from the Mk2 whilst adding disc brakes. Everything is kept as narrow as possible, with a custom low-q crankset and specially drawn NACA profile steel tubing. The integrated fork and handlebar feature a steerer-less design with an internal steering limiter, hidden fasteners and mounting for the yet-to-be-released ENVE aero extensions. An eccentric saddle mount allows for fine-tuning of seat height.
