Welcome to Wyganowski Frames. The site is being rebuilt and will be under construction for some time. Please note I have moved as of July 1st 2019 and I am now in Sauk Rapids, MN. My shop is being set up and I expect to be up and running by late Aug.

Wyganowski Frames is Paul Wyganowski, a fourth-generation custom framebuilder who handcrafts and hand finishes each frame. I build custom bicycle frames, including tandems, triplets, and recumbents. I also build professional-grade custom unicycles of all types and giraffes.

Thank you for showing interest in my frames.  I am carrying on the tradition of my three previous predecessors: Cecil Beringer, the first of whom started building in 1936; Terry Osell, who was taught by Cecil, and taught my direct predecessor; Tim Paterek, the last of whom has been responsible for more builders practicing this craft worldwide than any other framebuilder, both through direct teaching and by those he taught and are now teaching the craft.

I have been building custom handcrafted bicycle frames since 1989 and was introduced to the processes in 1985. I do not use any production building methods common amongst most builders. All of my frame building knowledge comes directly from the custom mentality one frame tailored specifically for the individual. It also how I construct each frame not from a production building style but custom hand finished building style. I do all the work myself, the only other people who will ever handle a frame built by me or the customer of the frame and my painter who I work with on site and with the finishing process. I welcome customers who want to follow the progression of their build and allow them to stop in to visit and document the progress. I like customers to ask about the process, and how and why I do, and do not or will not, build a frame certain ways.

I build bicycles by hand to exacting standards, using methods that prevent residual stress from being built into the completed frameset. I am in a minority of builders who build in a manner that prevents residual stress from being built into a frameset. I consider this a standard for any quality frames and my minimum standard. The end result is a frame that will, if cared for properly, last a lifetime.  I build with steel and stainless steel tubes, and am the first and only builder in Minnesota to build framesets from aerospace grade stainless steel long before Reynolds 953 and KVA tube sets were available. Each frame is tailored to fit you and your riding style.
