Luna Bicycles

"Custom Crafted By Women For Women, since 1995"

Many women speak of bicycling as a means to contact spirit through exercise. The bicycle completes a cycle with every turn of the crank, every rotation of the wheel. The mind and heart travel with the bicycle. Every ride is a journey unto itself.

Every Luna bicycle or frame is custom crafted to support your unique body with its unique dimensions, and is constructed from materials specifically suited to your size and riding style.

Here you have some raw pics of Susan's frame, in process.

This is the tig weld bead at the head tube junction. I like the bead to be small and smooth enough to essentially "disapper" beneath the paint. This can be done through the use of the right materials and many years of practicing. Unlike aluminum welds, well-laid steel tig beads are small and unobtrusive.

Bosses and braze ons get added once the main tubes are all connected. The challenge is to not use excess brass or silver when attaching these important pieces but also insure complete penetration.

Can you believe Anna's head tube on her new custom cyclocross frame? Yowza! Click on the pic for a closer view and also a photo of the complete bicycle.

Check out a print and video review of the Luna Orbit cyclocross bike as managing editor Christine Bucher took it thoroughly through the Pennsylvania mud in the March '08 issue of Bicycling.

"Luna Cycles ... exhibited an incredible flair for realizing in steel the different needs of female cyclists. Shorter top tubes, alternative wheel sizes, and an appreciation of the full range of tubing available to independent builders makes these bikes a just reward for women who want a bicycle that fits properly, and performs magnificently."

--Velovision Magazine, March 2008 issue

"There are a lot of great stock bikes on the market, but Luna presents an option for riders looking for fabulous fit and workmanship...You can spend more on a custom ride, but you don't have to, and the experience of buying a bike not just from another cyclist, but from someone who will listen to your needs and translate it into a phenomenal riding experience is priceless."
