Highlighting Kentucky artisans and none other than Don Walker Cycles
“I could’t ask for a smoother, better riding, more responsive bike to ride and race. What’s cooler than riding your own personal, one of a kind, custom bike, totally in tune with what you want to get out of it”
The Team Handmade Edition bicycle is not only the bicycle that swept the Ohio Jr. Criterium Championships, it is also an award winning frame.
Winner of the Columbus Tubing Best Build award at the 2018 North American Handmade Bicycle Show.

Proven at the highest level of competition.
Manufacturing
My design knowledge stems from my 10 years as a competitive cyclist coupled with a lifetime of aircraft mechanic and manufacturing experience. I have worked on some of the most technologically advanced aircraft in the world including the United States Air Force’s B1-b, B-2 and even Navy P3 aircraft. My resume also includes the Learjet model 45 and Challenger 300 series, two of the most advanced corporate business jets available today.
Passion
I have mastered the art of fillet brazing, a technique that makes the tubes appear seamlessly connected. Fillet brazing is a craft I learned as a certified welder in 1992 and have been honing ever since. Harmonious lines, beautifully seamless joints and meticulous attention to detail, these are the things the set Don Walker Cycles apart from the competition.
