La Fourche Cycles is an artisanal workshop dedicated to the art, design, and craftsmanship of high-performance custom bicycles.
Tom has been trained at one of the leading institutions for the teaching of the arts and crafts, the École Boulle, Paris.
Three key influences shape his work as an artisan and designer today. A culture of artistic craftsmanship, of course, but also a strong interest in design and its history (a respect for Dieter Rams’ principles that remains as relevant as ever), as well as a deep-rooted passion for competitive cycling.
The workshop is located in southern Burgundy, between Cluny and Tournus. Vacation rentals and gourmet dining options are available to enhance your stay if you’re in the mood to place an order!
Each project begins with a discussion with the client to define the specifications, intended use, and a precise selection of components. Finally, a detailed and rigorous bike fit helps determine the ideal riding position, resulting in a beautiful unique, high-performance, and durable piece. Tom can build a simple bike, but what he really enjoys is pushing the limits…
