A: We always confirm your order and advise you to anticipate an estimated 8-10 week timescale to manage expectations. However, as with all manufacturers, there are peak times and quieter times. Very often we deliver in under the estimated timescales.

A: Elves have started to stock some frames that are available for immediate dispatch. This means that we can deliver to you in approximately 3-4 weeks from the time of ordering. Express delivery options are available, please talk to us. To find out what the latest availability is, contact us on hello@elvesbikes.co.uk

A: The geometry and sizing is available on the website under the frameset you are interested in. If you are still unsure, we are happy to provide you with some guidance, but without seeing you face-to-face, there are limitations to this advice. We offer a complementary bike sizing for all full custom builds at our workshop in Southampton.

However, to get an accurate sizing, we always recommend a bike fit. Another valuable resource that many riders have given us positive feedback on is Bike Insights https://bikeinsights.com/ that you may find useful.

A: If you have ordered a bespoke custom product, unfortunately, you cannot change your mind once the order is placed. However, do speak to us, if we have not started production, we will always do our best to support any customer requests.

A: Elves Bikes are delighted to offer a five-year warranty on all frames, two-years on wheelsets and one year on saddles.  With custom-built bikes, not only do you receive the Elves warranty as standard, but also all other non-consumable components are covered in line with the manufacturer’s warranty. If you have purchased a fully-built custom-bike through one of our authorised custom shops, please speak to that store directly who will advise you on the next steps.

In the unlikely event of a warranty claim, if you purchase your custom-built bike or frame, wheels, bars, or saddle with us, we will happily process the warranty for you from the UK. You can view our full terms here.
