How to Order a Custom SABALI Bike
Ordering a custom SABALI frame or complete bike is a collaborative process designed to ensure your bike fits perfectly, performs exceptionally, and reflects your style. Here’s how it works:
1. Initial Design & Revision
Before any deposit is required, you’ll receive:
One initial design concept based on your specifications, fit, and riding style
One revision to refine geometry, components, or options
This step ensures we’re aligned on your vision and that you’re confident in your custom bike before committing financially. Additional revisions are available after the initial deposit is placed.
2. Deposit & Securing Your Build Slot
After you approve your initial design and revision, a non-refundable $500 deposit is required to proceed with the build. This deposit:
Confirms your commitment to the project
Secures your place in the build queue
Allows me to dedicate time, tools, and resources to your custom frame
3. Midway Payment & Material Ordering
Before I order any materials or components for your bike, a midway payment of 50% of the remaining estimated cost is required. This ensures:
Materials and components are fully covered
The build can proceed without any out-of-pocket expense
Both parties are financially protected as the project moves forward
Once the midway payment is received, I source and order all materials, components, and finishing supplies.
4. Final Design Approval & Construction
With materials ordered and specifications confirmed:
I finalize your frame design
You review and approve the final design
Construction begins, with each frame handmade and carefully inspected to match the design and intended use
5. Final Balance & Delivery
The remaining balance is due before delivery or shipping. Because customization options vary, total project costs may differ between builds. See the Pricing and Add-Ons & Extras pages for details.
