Custom Road Bikes

Mountain Bikes for Tall Riders by Zinn Cycles

Zinn Cycles has been building great custom road bikes since 1982. Cyclists from around the globe trust and love our designs for the meticulous attention to detail, precise bike geometry, with frame materials and components known for their premium durability and performance. Our end product is a bike that is second-to-none in our industry. Having a custom road bicycle built specifically for you is not just a super cool experience. It’s an absolute must if you’re very tall, extremely short, heavier than most riders, or have unique proportions.

At Zinn, we’re not just scaling up standard-sized bike frames. We build stiff, lightweight bikes that are much stronger and don’t shimmy at high speeds. When we create and build a custom road bike customized to your proportions, you can expect a very comfortable ride that will cause your body to experience much less fatigue than a standard bike built for the mainstream. Enjoy more power and efficiency, and increase your overall performance out on the road. Having a bike made to your specific dimensions will give you a more natural feel while reducing pain in the knees, hips, shoulders, neck, and back. Our goal is to optimize your riding position while providing the correct strength to weight ratio to give you a superior custom-fit bike.

Road Bikes For Heavy Riders

If you’re a heavier rider, you know that cycling is a great way to exercise and improve your overall health. However, having a road bike that is too small can be very dangerous out on the road. A standard-sized road bike designed for the masses generally has a weight limit that falls in between the range of 225lbs to 250lbs.

Ordinary bike manufacturers do not make road bikes for heavy riders. This scenario can be very frustrating, and if you don’t do your homework before purchasing, you could end up with cracked frames, broken wheels, and excessive component failure. Mechanical failures are dangerous out on the road, and purchasing replacement parts can become very expensive in the long run, making it better to spend the money up-front on a bike that is truly designed for you.

Here at Zinn Cycles, finding the right bike for you will no longer be mission impossible. We specialize in building road bikes for heavy riders, and our expertise is unmatched in our industry. As custom road bike builders, we can design and manufacture just about anything regardless of the individual’s size or body dimensions. With us, you can have your custom road bicycle built with a titanium, carbon fiber, or steel frame. Heavier riders need high-quality wheels, and we build our wheels with high-performance hubs, sturdy rims, and more spokes than other manufacturers.
