Magnolia Cycles frames are hand crafted in Rogers, Arkansas by frame builder, Michael Crum.

“With a background in fine arts, my approach to frame building is process driven. I develop a rapport with each customer through my frames, building a personal relationship to determine the client’s needs and aspirations for the bicycle. By primarily working with hand tools in steel, I foster an intimate relationship with each frame and possess the freedom to build a bike suited to the wishes and needs of the individual. This also allows me to exercise my desire for tactile and sculptural creation.”

Each Magnolia uses a mix of tubing to complement the rider’s style and fulfill requirements for handling characteristics and feel. Whether you plan to tour the world, hit the trail, burn up the road or ride around town, your bike will meet your needs with a balance of performance, style and pragmatism. Every custom build begins with a consultation with Michael. Ready to explore your options? Schedule your consult today!

“Dude. 

This sucker. I’d tempered my expectations of another steel bike. 

This thing rips, is extremely comfortable and fits like a glove.”
