ABOUT THE BUILDER

David Levy fell in love with bicycles when he rode RAGBRAI across Iowa at 13 years old; soon thereafter he built his first bicycle, a BMX frame made from tubing cut out of a crashed airplane and built with the same torch he uses in his business today – a gift from his father.

David raced and coached on and off for 25 years. He built custom frames at R&E Cycles in Seattle for four years before starting Ti Cycles in 1990 to expand beyond his steel-frame focus to include titanium. Titanium’s higher strength and lower density allow him to build lighter, higher-performance and more comfortable bicycles. In his career he has provided well over 1,500 frames, doing exactly what he always dreamed about: making wonderful creations to help people find the perfect solution to their cycling needs and desires.
