Every rider is unique, and the Elite is designed to offer a refined, high-performance ride for a wide range of road cyclists. We offer stock geometry in sizes 50cm through to 60cm, ensuring an optimal fit for most riders. For those seeking a fully bespoke experience, we also offer custom geometry for a £300 surcharge, allowing you to fine-tune every aspect of your frame to your precise measurements and riding style.
To maintain the best ride quality across all sizes, the Elite features size-specific tubing, ensuring the perfect balance of stiffness, compliance, and responsiveness—whether you're chasing fast road miles or embarking on all-day endurance rides. Getting the right fit is crucial, and with over 20 years of bike fitting experience, we’re here to help. We offer bike fittings as part of the ordering process, which you can book here with no obligation.
Alternatively, you can send us any existing fit data or visit one of our trusted dealers for expert guidance.
Further information on our sizing and frame geometry can be found here.
The Elite is now exclusively built as a fully bespoke frameset, ensuring that each frame is uniquely tailored to the rider’s exact needs.
Every Elite is crafted to order, allowing customisation in both geometry and functionality—whether that means adjusting tube lengths, refining ride characteristics, or incorporating specific mounts.
In addition, our award-winning paint team can create a truly one-of-a-kind finish, offering a wide range of custom paint and finishing options to make your bike as individual as you are.

Call, email, or book a visit online by clicking here .
Alternatively, reach out to your local Enigma dealer, who will guide you through the process.
Step 2. Discussion:
To get started, please complete our
This form gathers essential details such as:
-Your personal information (name, address, contact details)
-Riding style
-Bike fit data (if known)
-Objectives and targets
If you don't yet have bike fit data, don’t worry—we can still move forward and gather that information later. Once we have this information, we’ll prepare a CAD drawing of your frame and start discussing your bike’s specifications, including geometry, finish, and components. We will also give you a price based on your preferences.
Step 3. Deposit:
If you're happy to proceed with your order, we will request a deposit of £750 to confirm your place in the queue and move forward with the build process.
Step 4. Final Sign-Off:
We will send a final copy of your CAD drawing, a mock-up of your finished frame, and our Build Form for your approval. Once signed, your order will proceed directly to the workshop. At this stage, no changes or amendments can be made without incurring additional costs.
We’re currently averaging 60 days from confirmation to handover for raw frames. If you've opted for custom geometry or paint, please allow up to 30 additional days to account for tubing procurement and finishing.
For full bike builds, we’ll be sourcing and preparing components while your frame is in production, ensuring a smooth transition to assembly once it's ready.
Throughout the process, we’ll provide key milestone updates to keep you informed. Please note that custom paintwork may extend the timeline slightly
When your Enigma is ready for handover, we’ll request payment of the remaining balance. We accept all major debit and credit cards and partner with leading Ride to Work schemes, as detailed below. Please note that some schemes may include a surcharge due to higher commission rates.
To streamline the process, we kindly ask you to confirm your preferred payment method when placing your order, including whether you plan to use a Ride to Work scheme. If you’re paying the full amount through a cycle scheme, your deposit will be refunded once we’ve received the funds from the voucher company.

The Inspiration
The Elite is a road bike that embodies the perfect blend of tradition and innovation. Designed for speed, precision, and all-day comfort, it retains the timeless appeal of steel while embracing modern advancements in bike technology.
Completely redesigned for 2025, the Elite builds on its already exceptional reputation. Lighter, faster, and more refined, it remains a pure steel road machine—crafted for those who appreciate the unique ride quality only steel can offer.
Now built from Reynolds 853 Pro Team tubing, the Elite reflects our commitment to sustainable craftsmanship, precision engineering, and performance-driven design. Every frame is handcrafted in Sussex, ensuring the highest level of quality and attention to detail.
Its latest evolution introduces UDH dropouts, a T47 bottom bracket, and internal cable routing via specific groupset entry ports or multiport compatibility. For riders seeking the ultimate clean aesthetic, the Elite is now available with a fully integrated cockpit option, seamlessly paired with Columbus Trittico components.
This is steel, redefined.

A 38mm down tube, 35mm seat tube, and 32mm top tube create the perfect balance of compliance, performance, and precision handling—blending comfort with speed effortlessly.
Crafted from Reynolds 853 Pro Team tubing, the frame offers exceptional strength and ride feel while being sustainably produced in the UK from recycled materials, aligning with our low-impact manufacturing ethos.
Standard features include internal cable routing with your choice of entry ports and a T47 threaded bottom bracket for modern drivetrain compatibility. For a sleek, cable-free aesthetic, a fully integrated cockpit is available when paired with Columbus Trittico or Enve In-Route components.
