give a damn and shred hard
When you buy a baphomet, you’re investing in a sustainable future
Each Baphomet frame is handmade and only paired with parts that come from rad companies. You are welcome to slap any parts on your custom frame, but I’ll only sell parts to adorn your frame that align in some way with Baphomet Bicycles’ ethos.
Open your new frame box & you might find old newspapers amongst the packaging. I recycle everything possible, and commit to never using new plastic. It may seem like a pain in the ass to never use a zip tie on any bicycles, but little things like that add up.

About the Builder
Dillen
(he/him)
Professional Cyclist - Mechanic -Wheelsmith -Framebuilder
I’ve been all over the cycling world for as long as I can remember - Literally. I retired from racing after struggling to heal from a pretty hard hit to the head. Check out this episode of “We Got to Hang Out” for the full story. I then jumped all-in on the mechanic side of things & worked in bicycle shops in the US & Ireland. I eventually became the lead wheelsmith at a massive company. But, I decided the cookie-cutter assembly line didn’t suit me and moved on to work for a small steel framebuilder as their custom wheelsmith. There, I learned the ins and outs of framebuilding & the art of true custom bicycles!
I believe bikes are empowering - but they’re also luxury items. Our lives are better with bikes, and I want to spread that love! That’s why I donate 50% of profits to organizations trying their damndest to make this world a better place.
Baphomet Bicycles is my attempt at justifying building toys in an unjust world - giving back while spreading joy. I’d like to inspire the larger companies in the cycling world to give a damn about social & environmental justice.
I like riding bikes with big tires. Going off pavement to explore dirt roads - the sort of adventure where you find new singletrack and think “Good thing I’m riding my Baphomet!” No need to turn around to get the squishy bike anymore - take that damn trail and find the most sendy route to the taco truck!
Baphomet bicycles are the frames I wish I’d been riding all those years mountain biking & gravel grinding - when you order yours, know my background is ‘adventure’ & tell me what kind of riding suits your style of exploration. Baphomet frames are made for all-day, multi-day, climb-the-mountain-and-end-up-in-another-state rides.
There isn’t one style of bike to suit everyone - so while most frames I build are geared toward mountain or gravel, each build is fully custom and individually unique. There is no other bike like yours.
