CHOOSE YOUR tikit TM SIZE

We take your sizing information and then build your tikit TM the Friday way, taking the closest measurements. These include Height, weight, inseam and riding style. These determine the stem length, seat mast length, stem riser length and main frame size combination that will fit the you best. A bike that fits is one you'll ride!

Saddles and Pedals:

Folding pedals are a popular choice, but for a BTO tikit TM you can choose any from our wide selection. Since pedals are easily changed, why not buy a folding pair and fast pair? Check out our saddles and pedals.

Tires (16"):

Three of our most popular 20" tires come in 16". The Comet is a good, slick all-rounder, the Marathon is wider and tougher, the Stelvio is famous for its fast, buttery smooth ride.

Primo Comet (Kevlar or regular available)
Schwalbe Marathon

Schwalbe Stelvio (coming soon)
