Why Cascade Bicycle Studio

Our studio is located in Seattle, WA. When we opened the studio in 2006, we were pioneers of the studio retail model where focused attention on bike fitting and personalized service were paramount. Our experience doing bicycle fittings and working for other custom bicycle manufacturers has yielded over 7,000 combined bicycle fittings and custom bike designs.  CBS founder Zac Daab and business partner Terry Buchanan will be conducting all fittings during the west coast Festka In Motion tour.

Why Festka

At the end of 2015, we reached out to Festka in the Czech Republic to see if we could work together to help give their brand a noticeable retail presence in the US.   We had been watching Festka and their online presence for over a year, and knew this underrepresented brand could do very well in the US.    As a small builder, Festka offers an impressive model and material line-up, and an aesthetic direction that is creative, fresh, and attractive. Now, in 2016, we are Festka’s exclusive retailer for the entire west coast, and exclusive online retailer.   At a high level, a custom Festka includes:

  • Full custom geometry at no additional up-charge
  • Professional graphic designer available to create custom paint schemes
  • Models offered in carbon, stainless steel, titanium, and ti/carbon
  • Complete bikes starting at $6200
  • Lead time quoted in months, not years

Fitting and ordering your Festka perfectly for you

During the Festka In Motion tour, we are setting aside daily appointment times for customers to work with us and begin the order process for a new Festka.   Each appointment can be scheduled by emailing us, and will include the following:

  • Body measurements recorded
  • Current bicycle dimensions recorded
  • Frame designed with Cascade Bicycle Studio
  • Components selected
  • Deposit for 50% of the total invoice collected
