OUR PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes you have to make the part.

When I started building FERN bicycles, I soon found myself making racks, stems and all sorts of little parts alongside the frames. I wanted every detail to work together—from the way a rack carries a bag to the way a light sits on the bike.

Function and appearance have always been part of the same conversation.

FROM OUR WORKSHOP TO YOUR BUILD

Every little detail makes the perfect bicycle.

The old French constructeurs, especially René Herse and Alex Singer, were a big inspiration. They thought about the bicycle as a complete system and made many of their own components. Working on my own bikes, I began to understand why.

ALLYGN brings that experience together with my background in product design and CAD modelling. It allows me to develop parts beyond what I can make by hand—and share those ideas with more riders and fellow builders.

ALIGN. ALLIES. ALLYGN.

Independent parts for independent makers.

“Align” is a familiar word at the framebuilding workbench. “Allies” are the friends and builders working towards a shared goal.

A separate component brand gives other makers room to use these parts under their own name. Their bicycle, their identity. We offer trade conditions to framebuilders and shops around the world, and keep developing new ideas through those conversations.
