What does November Bicycles specialize in?

November Bicycles builds custom handbuilt bicycle wheels to order. The shop offers alloy wheels starting around $900 and carbon wheels starting around $1200, with all wheels built to order and shipped within 3 weeks.

How does November Bicycles approach wheel design?

The shop's process emphasizes both rim depth and internal width to help customers find setups optimized for their terrain and riding style. November Bicycles also advocates a tires-first approach, encouraging conversation about tire selection before wheel purchase to ensure the best overall setup.

What is November Bicycles' company philosophy?

Since 2010, the shop has focused on transparency and integrity, including disclosing use of open mold frames and rims, testing wheels against suitable benchmarks rather than slowest competitors, and discontinuing products with limited value—even best sellers. The shop eliminates reseller costs by selling directly to customers and dealing only with the builders themselves.

What makes November Bicycles' customer experience distinctive?

Customers speak directly with the people who build their wheels, rather than going through resellers. The shop operates from a basic workspace with no extraneous overhead costs, and promises a response to inquiries within one business day.
