Independent Fabrication was born out of the ashes of another legendary American bike brand, Fat City Cycles . After its demise, a few former employees decided their days of designing and welding frames weren't over yet. They settled into the abandoned premises of their former employer and decided to create a bicycle brand , that would enable the realization of their ideas and achieved the highest standards. Steel bikes were soon joined by titanium and carbon products, and their global reputation has only grown over the years. Currently, in addition to custom-made frames, they also offer a few standard-sized frames that are a bit more budget-friendly and usually quicker to deliver.
