A steel frame made just for you

Steel frames

The individuality of a custom build. A look all its own. Real steel. Where my love of engineering meets my love of cycling. That’s what NOVÁK frames are about.

My name is Jaroslav Novák and I’ve been building frames since 2010. I wanted to work in the bike industry from my school days, but I never found my way into a Czech bike company, so for a while I made a living from my other great passion – cars, working as a design engineer.

Yet every one of them leaves me with a new friend, because the personal side of building each frame matters a great deal to me.
