CreekHill

CreekHill Rahmenschmiede is a bicycle frame-building workshop based in Schwarzenbach an der Saale, in Germany’s Fichtelgebirge region. Founded by Johannes and Kevin, the brand creates handmade, custom steel frames and complete bicycles, from road bikes to mountain bikes. Each bike is designed around the customer, with the process covering body measurements, geometry, component selection, frame construction, finishing and paint design. The result is a one-of-a-kind bicycle made locally in the Fichtelgebirge.

CreekHill also invites customers to take part in the craft through hands-on frame-building experiences, learning skills such as sawing, filing, drilling and brazing with guidance from the team. Its “Build Your Bike” approach makes the creation of a personalized bicycle part of the experience, from initial ideas to the first ride.

Alongside CreekHill, the team runs Radcycle, which gives discarded bicycle parts a new purpose by upcycling them into products. Customers can explore Radcycle’s creations or contact the workshop to discuss a custom bike.
