SIZING & GEOMETRY

While Festka offers 12 stock sizes in both a Race and Sport geometry, we have the luxury to fully tailor the fit and the handling of your new Festka through the Cascade Bicycle Studio fitting process, at no additional up-charge.   Our sizing process will optimize the areas of the bicycle where you make contact and tailor your Festka’s handling characteristics so that it’s specific to your riding style and preferences.

Cascade Bicycle Studio sales associates are happy to answer all your questions.

Personalize the look of your Festka

Festka offers four pricing structures for paint jobs:  Stock, Semi-Custom, Special Edition, and Full Custom.   Pricing for these schemes range from no charge to approximately $1500.

STOCK PAINT SCHEME

Riders can choose from a select color range to personalize the predetermined paint layout for a given frame model.  This is available at no additional charge.   Generally there are two or three colors involved for a given scheme.

SPECIAL EDITION PAINT SCHEME

Iconic Festka designs like Pablo and Dazzle are available across all models, and many times include painting components such as the stem and seatpost.

SEMI-CUSTOM PAINT SCHEME

Riders may request small design modifications to the predetermined paint scheme and the addition of small design elements.   For a given scheme, the color range is not limited to the range for the year.

FULL CUSTOM PAINT SCHEME

The sky is the limit with full custom paint and a dedicated graphic designer is assigned to each client to make the best possible looking paint scheme.

The CBS Purchasing Process

DISCOVERY

Take as much time as you need and use Cascade Bicycle Studio as a resource to answer all questions about Festka models, materials, and options.  If you are able to visit our studio, please stop by anytime and chat extensively about Festka, and see Festka in the flesh.

DEPOSIT

Upon reaching the point where you are ready to commit to a Festka, we collect a non-refundable deposit for 50% of the cost of the frameset.  Once your deposit has been received, we will reach out to you to begin work on your Festka design.

DESIGN

With a deposit in place, we will work with you to design your Festka.   If you are able to travel to our studio, we’ll schedule an appointment to take body measurements, current bike measurements, and simulate our proposed sizing recommendation.  If you are ordering remotely, we will provide you with a PDF on how to collect and measure critical current bike dimensions.

PAINT

Paint design is likely one of the most rewarding elements to building your new Festka.   Festka has four straightforward pricing tiers for paint.    Even a stock scheme at no additional up-charge can be customized using a select color range for the model year.

COMPONENTS

Most Festka customers work with CBS to source the final components for the build.  We offer kits from Campagnolo, Shimano, and SRAM.  We favor Enve carbon or Fizik aluminum bits for bar, stem, and post.  We can hand build wheels to your desire with many options for rims, hubs, and spokes, or provide pre-built wheels from Enve, Campagnolo, Shimano, and Mavic, among other brands.

BUILD

CONFIRMATION

Upon signing off on the design, paint, and components, your frame will enter the production phase at Festka.  At this point in the process, we ask that no other changes be made to the geometry, paint design, or component selection.

CONSTRUCTION

Festka will build your new frame in approximately 12-14 weeks from a signed confirmation.   This lead time will vary throughout the season.

ASSEMBLY & TUNING

Our team of expert mechanics will spend dedicated time to building your new Festka.  We have a methodical process for building custom bikes and pay attention to details such as correctly cutting housing lengths, wrapping bars, and installing electronic shifting systems, among other processes.

DELIVERY

Once your Festka is completed, we will photograph your build, and contact you for pick up, or carefully prepare for shipping if your home is outside driving distance to Cascade Bicycle Studio. The remaining balance for your Festka can be paid at the time of pick up/shipping.
