Welcome to Swarf Cycles, Award winning handcrafted steel bicycle frames, carbon fibre bicycle mudguards and high quality carbon frame repairs.
ALL SWARF FRAMES ARE MADE BY ONE PAIR OF HANDS
Adrian Bedford is the man behind Swarf Cycles.
Adrian's life long interest in engineering and cycling has led down the obvious route - building bike frames. His love of mountian biking stems from the early 90's spending all his spare time riding the south downs on his fully rigid Dave Yates! Adrian has also spent his life immersed in engineering in one way or another. From making carbon composite model aircraft as a teenager, a first class degree in Product Design Engineering, two years spent designing at Dyson and 10 years mechanical design in the aerospace industry. Adrian has the skills and experience required to make you a well designed and beautifully engineered bicycle.
From paper to pedaling, one pair of hands!
Not afraid of complex projects, the first Swarf frames were full suspension MTB's with full carbon swingarms! These frames were featured on the Dirt website, have a read of the links below... The original frame covered over 3000 miles and spent 15 weeks in the Alps!

OUR FRAMES
At Swarf Cycles we aren't interested in fashion fads and we’re not interested in form over function. We care about making great bikes, with the focus on performance and strength. We use the best available materials and aim to offer as many options as possible to our customers.
At Swarf Cycles we believe in thorough testing of our frames, we’ve ridden thousands of miles on the prototype bikes, we’ve raced, crashed, jumped, dropped and run them into trees! We wanted to be sure that our frames will perform long term and they have proven to be amazingly reliable..
