My Wild love

The other thing I do

My Wild Love Cycles is a side-business I run making custom steel bicycle frames in Treviso, Italy. It all started with a passion for cycling and when I lived in Italy (2014-2017) it all came together.

MWL began as a project restoring vintage frames but my business partner and I soon expanded into making new steel frames. Aside from learning Italian, I learnt to do business the Italian way too.
It's been an incredible learning experience and I challenge anyone in marketing to try this for themselves and see how it feels when it's your money on the line.

what do I do?

design & painting

Aside from finding suppliers and getting the right building and spraying skills together, I started by doing the designs and briefing the painters. While that still happens, I've also started spraying frames myself because it allows me to experiment a little more. As a bit of a craft, it takes a lot of practice to get this right.

novice builder

Normally I have the frames built in Italy, but there are many good builders here in the U.K. and particularly where I live in Somerset.
I've recently built my own frame (yes, cut and welded it myself!) through The Bicycle Academy. It's a lot of fun and I hope to build this "power hobby" into a business in the future.
