It does more than look cool.

It does more than protect the tubes.

It doubles the wall thickness at a crucial junction, allowing the use of thinner tubes to keep the weight down, while retaining the strength and reliability you need.

Dropouts are an important interface, not just between the frame and the wheel, but also between you and your bike. The Art School Dropouts are designed for an ease of ownership as much as a safe and reliable way to maintain power from the pedals to the wheel.

Designed by Black Cat Bicycles way back in 2005, this is the best way to adjust chain tension, bar none. Easy and secure, it’s no wonder it was copied throughout the industry. Choose this option for the best looking and best working single speed on the market.

This construction technique yields the most opportunities while building a bike frame. With a combination of smooth seamless joints and hard square edges, you’ll get a bike like looks and rides like nothing else out there.

By using a selection of proprietary benders, each frame is built with tubing chosen specifically for each rider’s maximum comfort. This allows for a finely tuned ride that just isn‘t possible with off-the-shelf options.

From a one-off logo, to a full-blown freakout. No two Black Cats are finished the same. Let’s make your bike a perfect reflection of you.
