Enve Builders
Simply put, at Enve we credit much our success and rapid growth to the gifted frame builders with whom we have partnered over the years. These builders are the “soul” of the bike industry, and a fountain from which a number of cycling innovations originate. They have given us an opportunity to contribute to the industry on a level beyond the role of just a wheel and component manufacturer. They have entrusted us to participate in transforming the ordinary or norm into fine works of art and/or functional engineering accomplishments. We do all we can to supply them the very best composite tubing, stays, lugs and in some cases complete custom designs based on their individual need.
Which has brought us to today, 2011. We are excited to introduce the Enve Dream Builder program. This program allows our partner companies to include or drop ship partial or complete Enve build kits (wheels, bar, stem, and seat post) for your new frame right to your front door.
Contact your builder of choice for more details on Enve’s Dream Builds.

“Alchemy Bicycle Company is dedicated to utilizing the most technologically advanced materials available to hand craft our custom frames. Our build process combined with Enve’s tubing makes for the finest carbon frames currently available. Alchemy’s classic round tube carbon road and cyclocross frames as well as the aero time trial and road frames are made exclusively from Enve carbon. Alchemy believes that the carbon used in a bicycle should be designed for a bicycle! We sleep better knowing our carbon wasn’t picked out of a lot destined to be an iPod cozy or car bumper. Rather, it was made and engineered to perform under the specific application of cycling. Whether we’re using our NACA airfoil inspired tubes made by Enve exclusively for Alchemy or Enve’s traditional round tube sets, we know that we’ve sourced the best materials to make the best bike.”

"Boo Bicycles hand crafts custom, race-inspired frames made of bamboo tubing and carbon fiber joints. The performance and strength of our frames have been showcased at professional cyclocross, mountain, and road.
Boo's pedigree is second to none: Nick Frey, owner and founder of Boo Bicycles, is a professional road cyclist, multiple National Champion (U23 TT '07 and Collegiate RR '09), and graduate of Princeton University in Mechanical Engineering. James Wolf, Boo's artisan frame builder and a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design in Industrial Design, controls every step of the construction process, from hand-selecting green poles of bamboo through the final carbon layup and finishing.
With a supple, sublime ride quality that belies their incredible stiffness and acceleration, Boo frames are truly unique. The carbon fiber joints feature custom layups which have been tested and refined for over three years. The bamboo tubing undergoes a six month proprietary treatment process which eliminates the need for caustic Borax and other chemicals while ensuring the tubes are stiff, lightweight, and as durable as titanium.
Backed by a satisfaction guarantee, Boo Bicycles stands behind every custom frame we sell. Our reputation for excellent service and customer support is our most important asset, and one of the main reasons we partner with companies such as Enve Composites. Their quality, incredible service, and obviously the amazing performance are the main factors behind our partnership. We stand behind our frames, and we know Enve stands behind every product they make."

Firefly Custom Bicycles was born out of our love for handcrafting frames. We’re long-time builders and serious cyclists and we know you’ll appreciate the intelligence, passion, meticulous attention to detail and quality materials that go into every frame we make. Every single Firefly bike is hand made in Boston Massachusetts from the highest quality stainless steel and titanium tubing.
"Firefly Bicycles has chosen to work with ENVE Composites for many reasons. The high quality of their products being the first and most important reason. Beyond that they offer the broad range of dimensions within each of their available products which helps us to dial in our custom bicycles and meet our customers fit requirements. The fact that what they make is durable, light weight, and aesthetically pleasing doesn't hurt either."
