Custom Touring Bicycles - Made in Colorado since 1982At Zinn Cycles, we focus on creating a more enjoyable riding experience for all cycling enthusiasts. Our commitment to more accessible biking has resulted in a streamlined custom-made bike manufacturing process that delivers a comprehensively personalized and properly fitting bike. From the tallest to the smallest and everyone in between, we’re here to provide you with maximum comfort, fit, and performance. The Stelvio is our custom touring bicycle. With incomparable durability, weight, and performance, this bike will be reliable for many miles of loaded touring. The Stelvio is fully custom, so we can include almost any feature you want. The base frame price includes rack and fender mounts, disc brake mounts, oversized head tube, and three water bottle cage mounts. Even though this is what we include on a standard basis, you can get your bike however you want. We can do cantilever or rim brakes, internally geared hubs, Pinion gear box, S&S couplers, Z-couplers, internal routing for lights or electronic shifting, and anything else you can think of. Lennard Zinn has been designing custom bikes for cyclists of all sizes for over 30 years. In that time he has mastered the art of making a bike stronger and more durable than any other bike out there, while keeping it light and responsive. The Stelvio touring bike is designed for your ideal crank length so that you can finally achieve the level of fit and performance that you are looking for. The proportional length cranks, hand picked tubing, and Lennard’s unique compact frame design make this an unbeatable touring bike for any cycling adventure. It doesn’t matter if you are over seven feet tall or under five feet tall, this bike will be built perfectly for you. The Stelvio is available with custom cable routing for electronic shifting component groups, standard mechanical shifting systems, and also wireless shifting systems. |

Perfect fit on every Zinn BikeEvery Zinn bike starts with the perfect fit. Whether you want an aerodynamic position for racing or a comfortable, upright posture for long days in the saddle, we tailor every detail to your unique needs. Your riding position and body proportions guide every design choice—from custom top tube lengths to your choice of sport or upright geometry, giving you the ride style and comfort you need, even if you have specific body mechanics or injuries. The tubes are hand picked based on your weight to optimize durability, comfort, and stiffness. Sport positions boost aerodynamics and let you stretch out for speed, while upright setups prioritize comfort and help ease neck or back pain on longer rides. We match every element—frame, crank length, wheels, saddle width, stem, and handlebars—to your body and riding style. Zinn Cycles builds bikes for the widest size range of riders in the world, from 4'7" to 7'5". No matter your height, build, or proportions, your Zinn bike will deliver precision fit and unmatched comfort, guaranteed. |
Custom AestheticsWe want your bike to be unique and beautiful. We’ll help you choose custom colors and finishes that make your ride truly yours. Zinn titanium frames feature anodized graphics in your choice of color, with the option to add extra custom graphics and designs for a one-of-a-kind look. Want even more personalization? We offer painted titanium frames with any color—plus multi-color fades and unique masked designs. Steel frames include a durable single-color powder coat, with upgraded paint options available. We can also match component accents—like headsets, seat binders, spacers, bolts, and tire valves—in colors to suit your style. |

Built to RideYour custom bike is meant to be ridden! We want you to love riding your bike for many years. We are here to help you achieve your cycling goals after you get your bike and for years down the road. We can help you maintain your bike so it lasts forever, and we can also help you with coaching, group rides, or adventure cycling tours so that you get the most out of your custom bike experience. Bikes for Big and Tall RidersAs a tall guy, Lennard Zinn knows exactly what it takes to design a comfortable bike for unusual body types. While most manufacturers simply scale up a standard bike frame for bigger guys, Lennard developed a completely different process. When you get one of our custom bikes, you get something that’s built to your measurements exactly. We consider everything from the length of your torso to the measurement of your inseam, along with weight, riding goals, and body mechanics before designing your bike. In addition to working on small and tall bike designs, we also team up with cyclists who have medical conditions that require even more customization. Bikes for WomenThe women’s bicycle market is another challenge that Lennard Zinn tackled with zeal. Our focus here is on creating bikes that are lighter, faster, and more comfortable than ever. Our women’s custom bikes fit women of all shapes and sizes without forcing them to conform to male bike measurements. Many women find that once they transition to a custom Zinn bike, that they’re suddenly riding without joint pain or expending unnecessary effort. Zinn’s skills at creating a custom-made bike style for women even won over his wife Sonny and led us to sponsor an all-female racing team in Boulder in the 1980s. Classic Custom Bikes - Bikes for all sizesLennard Zinn is world-renowned for creating fantastic custom bikes for the widest size range of people on earth. People from all over the world come to us for personalized bike frame designs. Our Classic Custom series is the most popular option for first-timers getting a custom bike, as well as pros who keep coming back again and again. The Classic Custom series includes high-performance racing bikes, gravel bikes, mountain bikes, and comfortable touring bikes.

US and Worldwide ShippingWe ship bikes, cranks, components, and clothing anywhere in the world. All bikes are shipped fully assembled with the front wheel removed, and the handlebar disconnected from the stem. We are extremely careful to protect your bike fully from the aggressive package handlers that it may encounter. Your bike will be well padded, wrapped and tightly packed into the box so that it cannot move while in transit. When you receive your bike you will have minimal assembly to get it ready to ride, and if you have no mechanical experience with bikes, we recommend taking it to a bike shop. We can even ship directly to your local bike shop if you prefer. Click here for assembly and maintenance instructions to get your bike up and running and keep it running smoothly for many years. |
