Adam Eldridge started building high performance custom bikes 5 years ago in Columbus, Ohio. His bikes have stood at the top step of the podium at the Red Hook Crit, as well as numerous road and cross events around the country. Wraith Fabrications is a new project, removing the barriers and obstacles for many customers.
The wait time is gone, shipping is free, fit is free and stock sizing allows Eldridge to hand produce the frames with best possible Columbus tubing. Eldridge and his team are building these amazing machines right here in the USA and offering them for a fraction of the cost of not only upper tier far east pacific production steel frames but also every other made in the USA bespoke production frame made from comparable steel.
“We want to have fun. Shred. It doesn’t matter what kind of bike you’re on. It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing. Our machines are made here in the USA by hand. We’re celebrating the brotherhood. It’s about the ride. It’s about getting more folks on a crazy nice frame,” said Eldridge.
“We want to see where you ride. We want to hear about your adventures. It’s an honest, sincere desire to fit folks on the best bikes possible. No over design, just simple items made from the best materials available,” Eldridge added.
Both Road and Cross models are available, The road frame is made with a complete Columbus Life tubeset with upgraded Life S-bend stays. The CX main triangle is Life and the stays are Zona S-bend.
Both bikes include the newly released Columbus FEL 1.5″ tapered forks.
Triple butted where its counts, sexy where it matters, no corners are being cut in production.
Closer examination revels industry firsts, such as the specific bespoke aluminum internal cups in the headtube. The price reflects Wraith’s commitment to the customer and not the margin, as other brands are charging twice as much for a similar frame. Their goal is to remove the ego and putting the rider first, building a production bike that performs all day long and performs like the custom bike built just for you.
