Partnerships
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.
The Cycle to Work Scheme gives access to big savings on bikes and accessories. Employers fund the initial purchase and employees pay it back over time through salary sacrifice saving them money due to reduced tax and NI contributions.
Green Commute Initiative is a Social Enterprise with a vision to get commuters out of cars and onto any kind of bike, with dual purpose of improving both the individual's health and wellbeing, as well as reducing the environmental impact of pollution and congestion from cars.
Craft Bikes are proud to be partnering with the Evie Dove Foundation.
