You can make a bike that does most of this pretty well, but if you focus on what you really love to do, you’ll be more satisfied with the final product.
If specific features are important to you, include them in your list. For example, call out things like fenders, brake type, racks, S&S couplers, horizontal or track drop outs, extra water bottle cages.
We will want to know what style handle bars that you’ll put on the bike, which cranks you are using, and your shifting set-up.
Finally, do you want to purchase a full bike or just a frame?
If you don’t know or care about specific features or parts, that’s ok. But you *do* have to know what kind of riding you plan to do with your Elephant bike.
We need some basic measurements: sternum, inseam, foot, arm, shoulder.

Elephants are powder-coated. Our powder coater always has two colors: black and white.
However, you can order a pound of any color powder you want at this site and have the powder shipped to us. Typical prices (shipped) for a pound of powder coat powder are under $30. One customer had to have his new Elephant powder-coated Kawasaki Green. He got it.

All that’s left for you to do is be delighted and ride your Elephant.
