Hello All, My name is Ross Hennessy and I am looking for a "proof of concept" so to speak. Over the past year, I have been building up bikes for people in my spare time. The goal of all of the builds, was to help them achieve their dream bike, without them having to shell out bike shop prices, or spend their time digging though craigslist. Below, I have the basic outline to this concept, and want your feedback on:
- If you think this is a viable idea
- If you would buy a bike in this manner
- What questions, concerns or thoughts you would want to have answered BEFORE you went through with something like this.
- Any other thoughts or feedback you have
Thank you for you time, I appreciate any and all feedback!
My Dream Bike
Who wouldn’t want a flashy superbike? You just can’t beat the feeling of a race ready, super light bike as you crush your climb. Or maybe it’s that dream TT bike rocketing you though the field in comfort and style. However, with bike prices becoming more costly, not everyone wants to drop their whole years paycheck on the newest S-Works. And let's face it, sifting through craigslist for a used bike can be a pain. That is where I come in.
My goal is to help you build your dream bike, at a fraction of the cost of going to a traditional bike shop. Plus, it will be exactly how YOU want it, not just how it came.
Who am I? Someone that loves bikes. I obsess over every detail and love nothing more than searching the internet looking for the best deal, on the coolest components. I am also someone that hasn’t had the biggest budget, but doesn't let that get in my way of building up the best rigs I could get. I’ve found a passion in building badass bikes for a fraction of the cost. Being from a family of long course cyclists, I have a vast understanding of bike components and the desire to have it done just right.
What Do I do? I build super bikes, for mortal prices. I search out the best deals for the best bikes. This could mean building up a top of the line bike on lightly used parts. Or piecing together a race ready ride with new components and a used frame. Whatever you and your budget want, we can build. You tell me the dream or goal, and I do all the work to make it happen.
How does the process work?
What does it cost?

How does the process work?
- We work together to figure out exactly what you want your bike to be, the time frame you want to have it in, and the budget for the build.
- I get to work searching and building your bike. You get updates on progress, every step of the way.
- Once its built up, it will be professionally inspected, tuned, packed and shipped to you, ready to ride!
What does it cost?
- I work within the budget you set out. Each bike is custom built, staring from the frame, so the cost will vary depending on what you are looking to accomplish. Some examples of what to expect are below.
- Once a frame that meets your expectations is located, a 20% deposit is taken and put towards the cost of the bike.
