Project TiLander
The TiLander project was born out of a 15 year friendship between Chris, Deviate Cycles co-founder, and James from Craft Bikes. With a lifetime of design experience Chris brought the technical concept to the table based on his popular carbon full-susser the Highlander II, meanwhile James had the fabrication knowledge and intimate understanding of titanium. Together they formed a strong collaboration and the end product was one beautiful bike which won 'best bike in show' at the DT Swiss Craft Bike Days 2025.
At the moment the TiLander is a prototype and the next steps are to ride and test the frames. Please get in touch if you would like more information or read our blog here.
Craft Bikes are officially part of the Made in Britain network, joining a community of more than 2000 trusted British manufacturers dedicated to quality, craftsmanship and innovation. Proudly designing and fabricating our frames right here in Kent. The Made in Britain mark is a symbol of our commitment to excellence in manufacturing, it is also designed to help prospective customers identify British-made goods.
Craft Bikes are proud to be partnering with the Evie Dove Foundation. The Foundation's purpose is to help sick children and save young lives by sponsoring the education and training of talented and passionate paediatric clinical professionals. Who, with the Foundation's help and financial support, will develop their skills and expertise to provide cutting edge medical and pastoral care when children and their families need it most.
The beautiful Evie Dove was diagnosed with a brain tumour in April 2021 and tragically lost her battle with cancer only a year later in March 2022 aged just 13. She fought a battle no child should have to fight, a most aggressive cancer…she never ever complained, just lived life to the full with a sparkle in her heart. She was the bravest, kindest, caring soul, she lit up the room and hospital wards with her beautiful infectious smile and cheeky, happy laughs and giggles. She always told everyone she met they looked beautiful and spread kindness like no other. The Evie Dove Foundation is in honour and memory of Evie Dove, forever thirteen.
Craft Bikes and The Evie Dove Foundation ran the Big Bike Ride in 2024 and 2025 and raised over £6000. We are taking a break in 2026 but hope to return in 2027.
