Moustache Cycles is a bicycle workshop established in 2009, focused on building and refining practical, purpose-built bikes and components. Its work includes frames, forks, handlebars, and racks, with an emphasis on thoughtful design, durable materials, and details suited to real-world riding. The workshop’s featured project, the Krampstache V2.

0, updates a steel, plus-tire touring bike originally built around a Surly Krampus platform. The rebuild adds modern wheels, a front dynamo hub with integrated lighting and USB charging, a 1x11 drivetrain, and tubeless tires. It also addresses the fit and reliability of a custom front rack, reinforcing its upper attachment with a binder to improve stability under steering and braking forces.

Moustache Cycles combines custom fabrication with careful component choices, adapting a bike to its rider and intended use rather than simply following a standard production setup. Its approach is especially suited to riders seeking capable touring equipment and well-considered custom solutions
