Step 1 of 8 - Custom Order Guide

12%
This guide is designed to help you provide us with the information we need to build the bicycle of your dreams. Please fill out everything, and double check your information for accuracy.

Our Custom Frame Order Guide breaks down into the following 6 sections:

Section 1: Rider Interview
Section 2: Bicycle Preferences & Frame Options
Section 3: Body Measurements
Section 4: Current Bike Measurements
Section 5: Observations & Additional Information
Section 6: Paint & Decal Selection

Once you submit your completed form we will begin working on a unique design for your new bicycle. The design team will email an order form and frame drawing to you for approval. We are happy to make any changes necessary at that time. Once approved, we require a signed order form and a nonrefundable deposit ($500 for chromoly steel frames, $1000 for all others) to signify that your order is finalized. It’s official! Your new bike will go directly into production.

PLEASE NOTE: A signature on the returned order form indicates that you agree with all of the information provided and will not make any further changes to your order

SECTION 3: Body Measurements

Read the following carefully. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us at 603-292-5673.

It is crucial that these measurements are filled in completely and accurately.

1. You should have another person help you with this measuring process.
2. The rider should dress in cycling shorts, jersey, and socks without shoes.
3. Repeat each measurement until you get a consistent answer.
4. You may measure in inches or centimeters, but please label clearly.
Stand with back against a wall, feet shoulder width apart. Heels should rest against the wall with feet pointing straight ahead.
Stand with back against a wall, feet shoulder width apart. Measure from sternal notch to the floor.
Stand with your back against a wall. Place a hard cover book in between your legs, with the book bottom against the wall and the binding pressing up against your crotch, like a bicycle seat. Don’t be afraid to pull up hard on the book, to mimic sitting on a bike. Measure from the floor up to the top of the book binding, perpendicular to the floor.
Same method as above (C), only rider is kneeling instead of standing, with thighs perpendicular to the ground.
Hold your arm out to the side, parallel to the ground. Grip a pencil in your fist, perpendicular to your arm. Measure from the pencil to the posterior head of your acromion (shoulder bone).
Measure the distance from the outside of one shoulder to the outside of the other.
List shoe size (and brand of cycling shoe, if applicable).

SECTION 4: Current Bike Measurements

Measure from the center of the bottom bracket axle to the center of the seat tube/top tube junction.
Measure from the centerline of the head tube/top tube junction, along the top tube, to the centerline of the seat tube/top tube junction.
Measure from centerline of head tube/top tube junction, along a straight line parallel to the ground, to centerline of the seat post or a line extending through the seat post.
Measure from center of bottom bracket axle to center of rear axle.
Measure from center of bottom bracket axle to top of saddle along the centerline of the seat tube.
Measure from the centerline of the handle bar, back to the tip of the saddle.
Measure from the center of the seat clamp to the center of the bars.
Measure from the center of the saddle rail behind center of bottom bracket.
The distance from the top of the saddle to the ground, less the distance of the centerline of handlebar to the ground.

SECTION 5: General Observations

SECTION 6A: Paint & Decals



Independent Fabrication creates some of the best paint jobs in the industry. You can see new paint examples in detail at ifbikes.com/blog or you can check out the IF owners website, ifrider.com to see constantly updated bike photos from our customers. We look forward to designing and painting the bike of your dreams.

STOCK FINISHES

All steel frames are primed, painted, decaled, and clear-coated to your specifications. Pair any stock color with any set of decals at no additional charge.

Choose a box or script down tube logo. Titanium frames can be brushed or bead blasted in-house, or shot-peened and painted for an additional cost.

STOCK COLORS

Stock colors include any of the 24 colors below. As mentioned above, any one color is included in the price of a stock paint job. Discontinued colors are not considered “stock” but they can be mixed on an individual basis. Custom colors can be mixed, and any paint color can have a matte finish for an additional cost.
Pearl or Prismatique can be added to any stock color for an additional cost. Candy, Crystallance, and other custom color mixes are also available.

DECAL CHOICES

PLEASE NOTE: The colors in our catalog and on our website are not actual paint. We do our best to replicate these colors but real paint is real paint. Printed examples and images on a computer screen cannot be entirely accurate, no matter how hard we try. Please visit your local IF dealer (or better, the IF factory) to see actual paint and decal samples.
