Callum Fisher and I founded Five Land Bikes in 2017. We had studied product design together in Aberdeen, UK, and later worked together as designers and fabricators before setting up our own workshop. We moved into our current space, near Edinburgh, in 2018.

Our bicycle design and fabrication workshop offers mid-volume production, product design and prototyping. We focus on partnering with some of the UK’s most respected bike companies which want to develop and build bike frames in the UK. We build in steel and titanium with a team of just two people. Almost every part of the manufacturing and painting process is carried out in-house to maintain consistently high quality production. Raw steel tubing comes in, and painted, ready-to-assemble frames go out.
