Paul Villiers Bicycle Maker
Shown here are a selection of Paul Villiers frames. This is your oppurtunity to work with a blank canvas and creat and have built the bicycle you have always dreamed about, as the rider you can add pretty much what you want in saddles, groupsets bars, braize ons etc create your dream bike.
Most if not all of the items will be available from this site, all tried and tested.
Or you can ask for quotations on specific wants, however if you require the frame to be built with exsisting parts donated from previously owned bikes the builder has the right to reject any parts that he deems unsuitable to complete the build
This is Paul Villiers description of what he is trying to achieve with this cycle:-
"The Randonneur is a traditionally styled lightweight touring bicycle with the elegance and poise sadly missing from many modern machines.
I have taken a long time to create with the Randonneur a bicycle that conveys the unsurpassed beauty, feel and sheer all round ability of the classic Constructeur bikes of the past, combining these wonderful attributes with the finest user friendly, superbly engineered & silky smooth components from today's best manufacturers.
The Randonneur is totally custom made for you from the finest available materials. The addition of carefully chosen high quality components combine to ensure that owning & riding this exquisite bicycle is truly a pleasure.
I have tried hard to create a seamless integration of the best of traditional and modern, culminating in what I believe is possibly the finest bespoke touring bicycle available anywhere in the world."
