Why Chandi?

And our frequently asked questions.

Chandi frames are built one at a time using top-quality, US-sourced titanium. Backed by over 100 years of combined bike-building experience, we create one-of-a-kind custom builds tailored to your ride. Designed for riders, by riders.

What makes a Chandi frame different?

Chandi bikes are handcrafted in Chattanooga, TN using aerospace-grade, US-sourced titanium. Every frame is made one at a time with obsessive attention to detail. Our bikes are not mass-produced—they’re purpose-built machines designed to last a lifetime, ride after ride.

Can I customize the geometry of my frame?

Yes. Every Chandi frame starts with stock sizing (based on stack and reach), and we offer custom geometry modifications to dial in your perfect fit. Whether you want a longer top tube, shorter reach, or adjusted head angle, we’ll work with you to make it yours.

What's our warranty policy?

Every Chandi frame is built to last, and we back it up with a warranty and real support from the team that built your bike.

  • Rack and fender mounts (on AR, gravel, and adventure models)

How do I maintain a titanium frame?

Titanium is virtually maintenance-free. We recommend:

  • Cleaning with warm water and mild soap
  • Avoiding abrasive pads or cleaners
  • Periodic checks of bolts, headset, and bottom bracket torque

    For brushed finishes, a Scotch-Brite pad can bring back the luster if needed.

Strength & Durability

Titanium is renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, a critical factor in bike design. This means bikes crafted from titanium offer the resilience and robustness of much heavier materials, without the added weight. Titanium frames can withstand the rigors of aggressive riding, from mountainous terrains to the relentless pounding of the pavement, without succumbing to fatigue or corrosion. The result is a bike that's not just a purchase but a lifelong investment.

Ride Quality Like No Other

One of the most celebrated attributes of titanium is its natural ability to absorb vibrations, providing a ride that's incomparably smooth. This flexibility, inherent to titanium, acts as a natural suspension system, smoothing out bumps and jolts from uneven terrain. The result is reduced rider fatigue and a more enjoyable ride, whether you're on a long-distance adventure or a short, intense sprint.

Metal Properties

Titanium's versatility makes it an ideal canvas for customization. Its welding and machining properties allow for precision engineering and the creation of bespoke frames tailored to the rider's specifications and riding style. This level of personalization, combined with the skill of artisan craftsmen, results in bikes that are not just means of transport but expressions of individuality and passion for cycling.

At Chandi Bicycles, we choose titanium not just for its technical merits but for the way it transforms every ride into an extraordinary experience. It's about more than just building bikes; it's about crafting lasting memories, pushing the boundaries of performance, and celebrating the art of cycling. Titanium isn't just the best material for bikes; it's the heart and soul of every Chandi Bicycle, promising a ride that's as unforgettable as it is unmatched.
