The Three Big Advantages of a Made-to-Order Mosaic

For many riders, the idea of a custom bicycle can feel a little overwhelming. Do you really need a custom bike? Where do you even start? It can be a lot to take in—and we totally get it. That’s why we’ve spent nearly two decades refining the Mosaic Made-to-Order process, available on all Level 1 Mosaics, into something that simplifies the experience while achieving the most important goal: delivering the best ride possible, tailored precisely to you, the rider.

Size Matters Most – Here’s How We Approach It

Some riders seek out custom bicycles because there’s simply no other option for them. If you’re on the edge of the physiological bell curve—very tall or rather short—your mainstream production bike options are limited. Even riders of so-called average height can benefit from Made-to-Order frame sizing if their fit deviates from industry standards due to injury history or unique body proportions.

 

That said, you don’t need an uncommon body type to benefit from a Made-to-Order Mosaic. Maybe you have a favorite bike you’d like to replicate in bespoke titanium, or you already know how you want your next bike to fit and feel. Whatever your scenario, the Mosaic Made-to-Order process addresses every nuance of your fit and preferences, integrating them into your frame design. If you have numbers from a professional fit or your Mosaic Dealer, we can work from those, or we can help connect you with a qualified fitter in your area. We can also start from your current bike’s geometry, talk through what you like and what you’d change, and go from there. Every Made-to-Order Mosaic begins with a conversation, evolves into a detailed drawing, and ends with a frame design tailored precisely to your body and riding style.

Ride Quality Tuned to the Rider – Taken to the Next Level

Production bicycles have come a long way, and many large brands now offer size-specific frame stiffness and compliance. That’s a big step forward from the one-ride-fits-all approach of a decade ago, but it still relies on a few assumptions: smaller riders are light, taller riders are heavier, and everyone in between is “average.” For mass production, those assumptions are necessary, but in the real world, riders come in all shapes, sizes, and strengths—and that’s exactly what the Mosaic Made-to-Order process accounts for.

Each Made-to-Order Mosaic starts with our most refined seamless butted titanium tubing. From there, we select from a wide range of tube diameters, wall thicknesses, and butting profiles to tune stiffness and compliance based on the rider’s body type and ride preferences. A tall yet slender rider might receive a lighter, more supple tubeset than a similarly tall but thicker rider, who’d benefit from a stiffer setup. Even two riders of identical build might have entirely different riding styles—one a high-cadence climber, the other a torque-heavy sprinter—and Mosaic accounts for these distinctions from the very beginning of the Made-to-Order process. 

Nailing the Details – The Options and Extras that Make All the Difference

Maybe you prefer to carry a frame pump and want a pump peg (and maybe even a paint-matched Silca frame pump). We can do that. You might want top-tube bag mounts, fender mounts, or a third bottle boss on your road frame. Maybe you’d like rack mounts on your hardtail or a choice between 30.9 mm and 31.6 mm seat tubes to fit a dropper post you already own. All of this is part of the process. 

Mosaic GT-2 X Titanium Adventure Bike

And, of course, there’s the Mosaic Finish Program, offering an almost endless array of paint and finish options, from media-blasted raw titanium to intricate, one-of-a-kind Artist Series designs and everything in between.

A Made-to-Order Mosaic takes the complexity out of customization, blending nearly twenty years of craftsmanship with a process built around you. From precise fit geometry to ride-tuned titanium tubing and tailored details, each frame is designed to match your body, style, and vision. The result is a truly personal bike that rides—and looks—like nothing else.

The Made-to-Order Mosaic experience comes standard with all Level 1 road, mountain and gravel framesets. Ready to build your dream bike? Start with your local Mosaic Dealer or contact us directly at info@mosaiccycles.com or @mosaiccycles on Instagram.

Bike Check: Cumberland RT-Zero with Campy Super Record 13 Wireless

This build turns the dream-bike dial up to 13. Starting with one of the last framesets from our limited-run RT-Zero series, we paired Campagnolo’s brand-new (and many say best-ever) Super Record 13-speed wireless groupset with the superlight Partington R-Series MKII 39/44 Gold wheelset. Finished in a Cumberland Grey version of the RT-Zero-exclusive Shatter Camo Artist Series finish with a matching Mosaic Zero Ops carbon seatmast topper and ENVE cockpit, it’s one of the most exotic high-performance builds to roll out of the Mosaic shop.

It’s November and #CrossIsDefinitelyHere, which means Mosaic Rider Ben Frederick is already busy chasing podiums in the biggest cyclocross races in the US. Fresh off last year’s successful Project Lead Lap Campaign in the European World Cup Cyclcocross circuit, Ben’s battle-tested race bikes are still good to go, but we gave them both fresh Artist Series Finishes for the 25/26 season anyway.

Last year’s bikes showcased Ben’s own Small Monsters motif; for this year we took that theme and color pallet and gave it the Artist Series Nebula treatment.

Here’s a closer look at one of two.

Mosaic x Builders for Builders 2025

Great trail networks don’t build themselves. They come from hard work, vision, and usually, a ton of support of the riding community. Each year, the Builders for Builders campaign brings together a select group of custom framebuilders to raise money for the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship, and in 2025 Mosaic is proud to again be part of the effort.

The idea is straightforward: with every $10 donation, you are entered to win a custom bike built by one of the participating builders. The winning frame will be finished with a unique paint design and completed with a premium build kit from Paul Components, White Industries, and WTB. It is an opportunity to ride something entirely one-off while helping fund the trails that make our rides possible.

Mosaic Cycles GT-1 iAR
For this year’s fundraiser, we contributed a made-to-order GT-1 iAR: our full-integrated titanium all-road rig coated in our Scale Artist Series finish. With clearance for up to 40c tires, this capable machine is equally suited for ripping up road miles as it is carving the trails and singletrack, sometimes in the same day. And it could be yours for ten bucks that goes to helping build more great riding for all of us.

How It’s Made: Mosaic’s Ross Leopold Takes Us Behind the Scenes of the RT-Zero Development Process

We put a lot into our bikes. Even seemingly straightforward, batch-built Level 2 Mosaics require a ton of design, engineering and attention to detail, and that’s before tubes are cut and the torch is fired up. So you better believe that for the new Limited Edition RT-Zero, being the first model of our Zero Ops program, was an all-hands, above-and-beyond sort of effort. Just what goes into developing this model? 

We caught up with our own Ross Leopold to find out.

 

First, What’s your role at Mosaic? What’s your background? How did you get here?

Ross: I’m a framebuilder and engineer at Mosaic.

It all started when some family members got me into bikes at a young age. At 14, I walked into my hometown bike shop, The Okoboji Cyclist in Milford, Iowa. I asked if they were hiring, and that’s where it began. That job led me to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering at Colorado State University, always with the goal of bringing that knowledge back into the bike industry. I kept working at the shop between semesters, and after seven years there and four years of school, I was ready for a “big boy job.”

Being in Colorado for college was perfect. Not just for the riding, but because I was surrounded by so many great companies in the industry. I’d always admired Mosaic, and when a listing went up during my senior year, I applied. After a phone call with Aaron and a visit to the shop, I started part-time right after finals that semester, continued through spring, and then went full-time after graduation. Almost three years later, here I am…time flies.

When did the RT-Zero project officially start?

Ross: The idea predates me joining Mosaic. Aaron and Mark had started down that road, but the timing, cost, and scale weren’t right—and the team needed someone with the skillset to take it on. This was also just before the bike industry boom of 2021–22, so it wasn’t the moment to launch a project like that.

When I joined, the RT-Zero was something we talked about but hadn’t picked back up. I came on board to learn production first, then pivot into engineering when the timing was right. The project was officially kicked off at the end of 2024.

How did the development process for the RT-Zero begin?

Ross: We started by defining what we wanted the finished bike to be, and what components it would include. A big early question was whether to use 3D printing. Ultimately, we decided against it. 3D printing is great for complex parts and fast prototyping, but Mosaic has always taken pride in the precision and craft involved in our build process, and for that we find CNC machined parts are hard to beat. 

I could have designed an entire chainstay cluster as one unit and had it printed, but we chose the harder path and intentionally kept as much of the process hands-on as possible. That also makes it easier to tune the geometry for the rider, since these are made-to-order only frames. 

Which components did you design from scratch?

Ross: Some parts were already underway when I arrived, like the proprietary D-shaped carbon seat mast, seat stay collar, and T47 bottom bracket shell, though they needed tweaks for both function and aesthetics. From scratch, I designed the carbon seat mast topper, the shaped IS52/IS52 headtube, and the integrated dropouts. Beyond the parts, we also had to create new assembly fixtures. 


What role did prototyping play in the process?

Ross: Prototyping was done in CAD, which made refining dimensions quick. I bought a 3D printer for scaled plastic models to visualize parts and check fitment. Much of the design work was about refining aesthetics and production methods. Everything needs to ride and perform flawlessly, while still looking distinctly Mosaic.

How did you handle testing and validation?

Ross: Much of the testing and validation happened in CAD. Integrating carbon with titanium isn’t new, so we weren’t charting completely unknown territory. The challenge was improving upon our highly regarded RT-1 ITR, so we built a dedicated test bike refined from there. 

What’s different about the RT-Zero in terms of the build process?

Ross: A big goal for the RT-Zero was that it could slot into our existing production flow. Like our other models, chainstays are batched and components prepped beforehand. The main difference is the absence of a seat tube—the carbon mast is installed after the titanium chassis is welded.

Ross: I designed an adjustable dummy seat tube that includes a heat sink for the seat mast collar assembly, so the chassis can be built just like a standard ITR. The top tube is mitered differently, since the seatstays join it directly, which is unique to the RT-Zero. After QC, the carbon mast is bonded in. It’s not overly complicated, just new.

What’s the most complicated or time-consuming step of the RT-Zero process?

Ross: Definitely aligning the top tube and seatstay construction. It’s a new assembly with a lot of room for error—the miters, the collar joint, and how everything looks once it’s together. A lot of people assume the carbon mast integration is the hardest part, but it’s actually more straightforward than the titanium work.

What unique challenges did the RT-Zero introduce?

Ross: Almost everything about it was new in some way. Not wildly different from what we already do well, but different enough that it demanded more attention. Our build process has been perfected over years of refinement to ensure our high standard of craftsmanship, ride quality and build time, and adding a new model presents a disruption in that established process. Early on, getting everything to come together smoothly was the main challenge. Now that we’ve built a few, those challenges have subsided. 

What else about the RT-Zero development or build process stands out?

Ross: I said that we didn’t apply 3D printing apart from prototyping, but that’s not entirely true. The one place 3D printing made sense was for the Di2 battery mount inside the seat mast. It’s printed from flexible plastic so it holds the battery in tension. It’s the only 3D printed part on the bike, and I kinda love that detail.

 

Thanks Ross, the results definitely speak for themselves! 

The RT-Zero is a Limited Edition model and of the 25 build slots offered…only five remain as of this post.

BIKE CHECK: Mosaics of MADE 2025

MADE 2025 Show Bike #2: Mosaic MT-2 Trail Trout

Mosaic CEO and Founder Aaron Barcheck has been known to strap a fly rod to his MT-2 hardtail and explore the rough high-country singletrack in a quest for native Browns, Brookies, and Cutthroats. It’s a great way to reach some otherwise hard-to-reach fishing spots while combining two of our favorite pastimes. So for this year’s MADE Show Bike lineup, we hooked up with Ross Reels for this fishing-themed collaboration.

We started with our tried-and-true, batch-built Mosaic MT-2 hardtail frame and Shimano’s new 12s XTR wireless groupset. The finish isn’t available as a standard Factory or Artist Series option. Instead, it’s a custom in-house design inspired by the native Brown Trout, featuring greens, golds, dark spots, and bright red accents. Even the Fox Factory 34 fork is painted to match.

Our show bike is set up for peak fishing adventure with bags from Tailfin and a painted-to-match rod holder we made in-house, but beneath all that gear lurks a high-performance hardtail capable of anything.

Stay tuned for a deeper dive into this collaboration in a future post.

MADE 2025 Show Bike #1: Above Category x Mosaic: RT-1 iTR in Nebula

For this year’s MADE Show we worked with Above Category to bust out one of the lightest RT-1 iTRs to date—just 15.3lbs thanks to a medley of exotic parts which, like our Series 1 butted titanium tubeset, shave every possible gram without sacrificing performance or reliability. 

The foundation is a Mosaic RT-1 ITR frameset finished in our Artist Series #7 Nebula. Blocks of color in shades of icy blue, silver and pale white extend to the Björn Glagol seatpost and Enve SES one-piece bar and stem, tying together the bike’s silhouette with shifting, light-catching color. 

From there, Above Category pulled together a top notch build:: SRAM RED XPLR wireless drivetrain, Duke Racing carbon rims laced to Tactic hubs with Berd spokes, and a Björn Setka 3D-printed saddle. Enve SES integrated 

AC never skips the details, rounding out this feathery build with Tune carbon cages, Absolute Black brake pads and Garbaruk aero chainring. 

This is one that has us daydreaming about upgrades for our personal bikes.

Introducing: The all-new Mosaic RT-Zero

After years of crafting thousands of the most refined high performance titanium bikes on Earth, we’re taking Mosaic to the next level: introducing Mosaic Zero Ops. 

This is where we’ll push the boundaries of what we’re capable of, and what our bikes can do. We’ll test new materials, production methods and tools, and we’ll explore partnerships with other domestic manufacturers to produce key components. 

Zero Ops models will be more technically advanced and refined than our Level 1 models, without compromising performance, durability, or our ability to tune the ride quality for the rider. 

The first model to come out of our Zero Ops Program is the all-new RT-Zero. You’ve probably seen handmade bikes with carbon seat tubes before, but not like this.

The RT-Zero features Mosaic’s proprietary, in-house–engineered carbon seatmast and topper—both proudly made in the USA—a testament to the quality and durability Mosaic is known for. The D-shaped Zero Ops mast uses a truncated airfoil, or Kamm-tail, profile that not only reduces aerodynamic drag but, more importantly, allows us to fine-tune stiffness and compliance by adjusting the composite layup in ways a traditional round tube simply can’t match.

From there, we saw the opportunity to recalibrate the rest of the RT-Zero’s  custom butted tube mix around the Zero Ops seat tube to give this model a noticeably different look and feel from our standard (and extremely capable) flagship RT-1 ITR, our most popular model road bike. Enhancing that feel and tunability will be a new bridgeless 12mm seatstays, precisely mitered to follow the profile of the CNC’d titanium seat collar, flowing around the outside and into the shaped top tube.

Each RT-Zero will be Made-to-Order and therefore the exact tube selection, including diameter, wall thickness and butting profile will be tailored to the rider and therefore frame weights will vary, but on average this will be the lightest Mosaic model in our lineup. 

On the road, the RT-Zero delivers an even livelier, more responsive feel during hard efforts and out-of-the-saddle climbs. The oversized downtube and Zero Ops carbon seatmast create an exceptionally stiff bottom bracket and near-instantaneous power transfer. Building on that rigid foundation, the carbon seatmast and topper add critical compliance, delivering something many bikes promise but few deliver: a ride that’s simultaneously smooth and sharp. The RT-Zero wants to be pushed on every rise and roller, and on descents it tracks with the precision and poise Mosaic is known for: stable and confidence-inspiring from the first ride.

The RT-Zero also introduces a new tapered IS52/52 head tube, flat-mount UDH dropouts, and a T47 bottom bracket shell with full-length internal routing, all designed in-house and CNC-machined from titanium, which is our way to ensure the highest quality materials and the precise fabrication and finish Mosaic is known for. Capping the D-shaped Zero Ops seatmast is a Mosaic-designed, compression-molded carbon seatmast topper fitted with premium ENVE hardware.

The RT-Zero  is the first model by Mosaic Zero Ops, the result of over 15 years of titanium frame fabrication combined with countless hours of in-house dreaming, development and testing of these enhancements in the pursuit of the ultimate Mosaic…so far. 

Will there be more from Mosaic Zero Ops? Will you see some of these features trickle down to the rest of the Mosaic line? Maybe. Time will tell. 

A limited production run of 25 first edition RT-Zero framesets, hand-finished with exclusive Zero Ops paint options will be available to order in 2025. The pre-order window is open from August 21st through October 31st, with RT-Zero deliveries beginning in February of 2026. Contact your Mosaic Dealer to secure an RT-Zero slot today or sign up to the RT-Zero List then we’ll get to work on perfecting your very own RT-Zero.

Mosaic Artist Series: Form, Function, and Fine Art Finishwork

Raw titanium. Exquisite welds. Clean single‑color knockouts and signature fades in every hue imaginable. These are the hallmarks of Mosaic’s finish program, beloved by riders who appreciate understated elegance. But some riders look for more—a frame that feels like a rolling canvas, where bold patterns, complex paint techniques, and pure individualism come together. For them, there’s the Mosaic Artist Series.

Developed entirely in-house, these finishes go beyond traditional paint and polish, transforming our titanium frames into rideable works of art. They shift in light, reveal intricate details up close, and no two are ever alike. Each technique carries its own identity yet shares a unifying theme: limitless range. Whether rendered in striking contrasts or subtle tonal palettes, every Artist Series finish offers the freedom to create something unmistakably personal.

Today, the Artist Series includes five finishes: Prismatica, Atlas, Particulate, Scale and Nebula. Here’s what makes each one distinct:

Prismatica

Prismatica debuted as a one‑off for Chris King’s annual Open House—a challenge to create a finish that honored their newest headset color while remaining unmistakably Mosaic. The result was a riot of color contained within our clean lines: lively and vibrant up close, yet composed from afar.

Inspired by light refracting through crystal, Prismatica plays with saturation and transparency, shifting character depending on angle and light. It remains one of our most distinctive Artist Series finishes.

Atlas

Atlas explores movement through landscapes—an artistic mapping of place and self onto titanium. Developed in collaboration with Colorado artist and athlete Krysten Koehn, Atlas draws on the layered geography of the Rocky Mountains and the experience of navigating them by bike.

Abstract cartographic forms and tonal fades evoke ridgelines, valleys, and shifting alpine light. Striking in bold palettes or quietly immersive in muted tones, Atlas reflects the rider’s journey and the landscapes that shape it.

Particulate

Built on our Two Tone layout, Particulate combines a single base color—or a two‑color fade—with a splatter effect contained within the logos and inner fork blades. The splatter colors are left to the painter’s imagination: you choose the base, and we handle the rest.

Particulate is Mosaic’s take on the classic “splatter paint” look—energetic yet precisely executed. Clean masking lines keep the chaos contained, resulting in a finish that feels bold, refined, and distinctly Mosaic.

Scale

Created by Mosaic founder Aaron Barcheck, Scale reimagines the Knockout layout with a randomized stamped technique that produces rhythmic, layered texture. The effect is cohesive yet never identical—each frame a unique expression of pattern and color.

Available in multiple colorways (or customized with the Mosaic design team), Scale spans a wide spectrum: bold and primal in high‑contrast palettes, subtle and nuanced in tonal blacks and greys. It’s a finish defined by balance—refined artistry with an untamed edge.

Nebula

Nebula evokes the layered beauty of cosmic gas clouds, blending gradients and color fields into a flowing, organic pattern. Its tones appear to shift as the bike moves, revealing new depth from every angle. Whether expressed in vivid color or moody monochrome, Nebula offers an immersive canvas for riders who want a finish that feels alive.

Artistry and Performance Combined

The Artist Series is always evolving, shaped by experimentation, rider inspiration, and the constant pursuit of new techniques. Each frame takes on its own personality—sometimes vivid, sometimes restrained, always unmistakably Mosaic.

Artist Series finishes are available on any new Mosaic build and can also be applied as refinishes for existing Mosaic framesets. Whether you’re drawn to vibrant explosions of color or the quiet elegance of tonal greys, the Artist Series offers a uniquely personal way to make your Mosaic truly your own.

Batch Built by Mosaic: The Handmade Experience, Streamlined

It’s no surprise that at Mosaic, we build a lot of custom frames. But we’ve learned over the years that not every rider needs down-to-the-millimeter, full custom geometry to appreciate the lively, responsive ride feel of a Mosaic, without compromising on fit.

Many riders fall into a relatively standard size matrix and just want a beautifully built, incredibly refined titanium bike—crafted by hand in Colorado—with sizing and geometry already dialed. That’s why we created our Batch Built frames: a streamlined way to get a Mosaic.

Our Batch Built frames use proven stock geometry and are available in four models—GT-2 45, GT-2 AR, RT-2d, and MT-2—covering everything from adventure-ready gravel, straight-up roadie performance and hardtail mountain. Each frame is delivered in 2-3 weeks with a Cane Creek headset, Columbus carbon fork (for the drop bar models) and raw titanium finish included for $4,500.

Batch Built Benefits:

A handmade, precision crafted frame without the wait. Skip the custom design process and go straight to riding. Stock sizing means the same balanced fit and ride quality Mosaic is known for—delivered weeks faster.. 

US crafted titanium at an accessible price. Every frame is expertly welded, finished, and aligned in our Boulder workshop by the same team as our Made to Order builds.

Options to make it yours. Start with a raw finish or upgrade to custom paint from our Finish Program. Build it around any drivetrain. Add a third bottle cage or rack mounts. Batch Built offers some flexibility to dial in exactly what you want.
