Hello
I'm Thom Dawley. Dawley Bikes is a family run, rider owned business. Our mountain bike frames are designed and made one at a time by myself in our workshop in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire.
Our frames are a blend of traditional fabrication techniques and modern design. I hand-pick the highest quality tubing and materials for each rider and application from Reynolds in Birmingham, to Deda and Columbus in Italy, machined parts from Germany and good old British T45.
To join the tubes I use a unique blend of bronze welding and fillet brazing. Almost all our processes are completed by hand, only using machines where I feel it's absolutely necessary.
​
At Dawley Bikes we believe that a good bike should be an extension of the rider; geometry and handling is at the heart of what we do here. Our focus is always to put the rider in control.
