Breadwinner Cycles are handmade bikes born in Portland for people who love riding their bikes every day.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Breadwinner. Started by Tony and Ira, the brand has grown steadily to become the premier frame workshop in Portland—or perhaps the entire West Coast—having fulfilled over 1,000 custom orders to date. Every custom handmade frame crafted by award-winning framebuilder Tony Pereira, who brings over 20 years of experience in the design and manufacture of custom frames, represents a perfect fusion of craftsmanship, quality, beauty, and the joy and freedom one feels while riding.

Each frame model is custom-made using Columbus tubing carefully selected for each specific application, based on custom choices tailored to the rider's physique and preferences, and constructed using traditional frame-building techniques with geometry sheets finely adjusted for each individual frame. Because each frame is custom-sized for the individual customer, they can be repaired whenever possible to ensure a lifetime of use. This is the true essence of steel frames, and I believe it is the secret to why Breadwinner, a brand that continues to embody the spirit of "Steel is Real," is so beloved by cyclists across the United States.

なぜ「ブレッドウィナー」を選ぶのか?

Life in Portland, one of the world's most successful cycling cities, has constantly influenced everything from Breadwinner's concepts to our manufacturing techniques. We ride across the city's massive bridges, down its alleyways, over the West Hills, through Forest Park, and out onto the countless spectacular rural gravel roads, singletrack, and magnificent asphalt stretches found throughout the Pacific Northwest. The bicycles that Breadwinner builds are born and raised in these very environments.

Portland has long been a city that fosters artisans and small businesses. Embracing these roots—including their own—Team Breadwinner takes sincere pride in being part of the Portland bicycle industry, which has grown alongside the development of the city's cycling scene and continues to produce high-quality jobs and excellent American-made products. Every frame and bicycle is manufactured daily at our own workshop in Portland, Oregon.

❷Design and Fit

We would be happy to help you clarify your vision for a bicycle built just for you. Please tell us about your current bike fit, your past bicycles, and your riding style. Receiving your fitting questionnaire will begin the dialogue, and once the model and design are decided, we will be happy to help you choose components and paint that align with your budget and your dreams.

❸Building

Once the design and details are confirmed, you will receive an invoice for payment. As soon as payment is received, we will order the parts. From there, we channel the creative energy from the design phase into crafting your frame by hand in our workshop. The frame is mitered, welded, shaped, and finished to perfection. It is then ready for paint.

❹Assembly and Delivery

Once your bike is shining with its new paint, we carefully assemble it using the proper tools and techniques, and components we know well. Proper assembly is just as important to us as the build itself. Our goal is to provide you with a fully tuned, finished bicycle. We will then carefully pack and deliver it to your door. You are also welcome to pick it up in Portland—if you have the time, we’d love to head out for a ride together!
