The plan is to reproduce Squid’s custom bike. This project has been in the works for over ten years, as we’ve refined Squid’s Squarebuilt frame over time.
We’ve reached a point where we believe we can mass-produce this frame to offer a custom-like product at an affordable price. However, we need to order a minimum of 100 frames to make it economically feasible.
The first 100 framesets are available for $500; We have only until March 28 to reach the minimum order requirement, so we’ve made it easy for you to reserve yours with a $200 deposit now.
Shipping costs are yet to be determined, but we’ll keep you informed as we know more.
We appreciate your interest, and feel free to reach out with any questions.
Use the comments section below. And ask as much as you can. I will update the page as often as necessary.

6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy Shaped Tubing
Full Carbon Fiber Fork with Headset Cap and Expander plug
Integrated System Headset IS42/IS52
35mm Seat Clamp with 27.2 Post Insert
68mm BSA Bottom Bracket
Designed for 700 x 28 wheels
designed for 27.2mm seat post
What is the tube and fork material? Headset included? What is the spec on the dropouts? Is there a color option? I notice Pearl-Raspberry and Raspberry-Pearl in the drop down. What’s the difference?
Thank you!
Hi Adam,
The tubes are 6061-T6 aluminum alloy.
The fork is a unidirectional carbon fiber (390g)
The headset IS42/IS52 is included
It also comes with a top cap and expander plug.
Since the fork is entirely carbon fiber, I wanted to be sure that it came with everything you would need but might not have if you don’t already have carbon fiber forks.
There is no difference in the paint options. I’m just super funny and thought that was a great joke.
Thanks Lance, what about the rear dropouts?
Hi Adam,
I’m not sure what you mean by the specifications of the rear dropouts.
They are track drops with 120mm rear spacing. I’ll attach a photo below so you can see them in real life, but they are the same dropouts I drew in the 3D model of the frame. [You can see the model HERE]
If you need something more specific, please ask.
What’s the max tire clearance for 650 and 700?
The Max supported tire size is 700c x 28mm with roughly a centimeter clearance around it. I will post the CAD drawing below to show you what I mean.
Hey I’m interested in a 57cm frame bike
Hi Keshuan,
You can reserve a 57cm version here https://squarebuilt.com/order-page/
What is the frame/fork weight?
Hi Bob,
The frame weight is approximately 2250 grams
and the fork weight is 390 grams
Drilled for brakes?
Hi Andrew,
The fork is drilled for brakes
Looks amazing!
Any finish options? ex. raw aluminum, sans paint
Thanks
Hi Marc,
This is our initial start-up run of frames; this color and price go together and are a one-time thing. If this first run goes through, there will be about a hundred or so people with this frameset with this color combination for the rest of eternity. If you choose to, you can always strip the paint off when you get it. I wouldn’t suggest that, but it is an option.
Looks great. Would you ship international to EU?
Hi Richard,
I’m still talking with the logistics people trying to figure out what’s possible. Send me your address and I will be able to give you a solid answer.
Hello, what is the max rider weight for this frame? Thank you!
Hi Ryan,
I will Run some FEA analysis on the frame and see what the structure can handle. Still, overall weight limits depend on all parts of the bicycle, especially the wheelset, so I can’t give you a number for your particular situation.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Do you happen to have figures for the stack and top tube slope angle?
Hi Keith,
Yes, every angle and measurement can be taken right from the 3D model of the particular size you are interested in. Go to the main page, scroll down to the size you are interested in, and click the [See More] button. From there, you can take precision measurements of anything you want. Actually, I will just link to the models here SMALL-48 MEDIUM-53 LARGE-57
Hi Lance,
Any updates regarding max rider weight. FEA analysis?
Sorry Ryan, I haven’t had the time to analyze it properly.
This most likely will not happen before we close orders on the 28th
