Masterpiece Series

Masterpiece – The Artisan Framebuilding Line from Basel

Engineering expertise, additive manufacturing and uncompromising custom geometry.

The Masterpiece line brings together all our experience in high-end framebuilding. Every frame is a unique, individually crafted piece made in our workshop on the Dreispitz in Basel.

At its core are bespoke, additively manufactured titanium lugs, 3D-printed using selective laser melting. Depending on the model and intended use, we join these to high-modulus carbon tubes through structural bonding or to selected titanium tubes using precision TIG welding.

Following its debuts at Bespoked 2025 and 2026 in Dresden, the Masterpiece series is now available to order as a frameset or a bespoke complete bicycle.

The construction principle: 3D printing meets composites & titanium

Additively manufactured titanium lugs

Head tube, bottom bracket and seat clusters, as well as dropouts, are 3D-printed in Ti-6Al-4V. This enables load-path-optimised wall thicknesses, internal reinforcement ribs and geometry tailored to each rider, down to the degree and millimetre.

Filament-wound carbon tubes

Our carbon tubes are produced using filament winding on tooling developed specifically for us. The continuous fibre path delivers exceptional torsional stiffness with precisely defined vertical flex.

Aerospace-level joining processes

  • Titanium-carbon: Precision bonding with certified high-performance adhesives.
  • Titanium-titanium: Low-stress TIG welding in a controlled shielding-gas atmosphere.

Fork concept

Choose a lightweight full-carbon monocoque fork or our purpose-built, geometry-matched Masterpiece Custom Carbon-Titanium Fork, with made-to-measure rake and axle-to-crown length.

Workshop & location

Development, design, cutting, joining and finishing are all carried out on site at the Dreispitz in Basel.

Your route to a custom frame

  1. Measurement & biomechanics: Analysis of your geometry data, riding style and preferred riding position.
  2. Parametric CAD: Tube selection and lug angles designed in 3D CAD, with structural calculations based on rider weight.
  3. Manufacturing in Basel: 3D printing, machining, cutting filament-wound tubes, and welding or bonding in the frame jig.
  4. Finish & build: Exposed carbon, blasted or polished titanium, individual anodised or painted details and a tailored component selection.
