Compass Bicycles offers a range of components for real-world bicycles that are impossible to find anywhere else.
Through our research into the history and technology of bicycles, we have found many components that work extremely well, yet are not available currently. Our goal is to provide these components to today’s riders, so we can enjoy our bikes even more. When you ride your bike...
...on backroads
...then you quickly realize that you need a bicycle and components different from those sold at by the big makers.
Whether you are looking for wide, supple tires that combine performance with comfort, handlebars that are comfortable even after many hours in the saddle or front racks that can support a handlebar bag securely — you will find them here.
We offer classic René Herse cranks with nearly limitless chainring choices, SKF bottom brackets that will last 10 years or more without maintenance, and classic polished rims.
If you plan to ride at night, we offer the best generator hubs and lights, so you always have lights by just turning a switch.
In our program, you find aluminum fenders that provide generous coverage and rolled edges to keep the water inside, while weighing less than plastic fenders. We even offer fork crowns and fork blades that are optimized for strength and shock absorption, which a qualified framebuilder can incorporate into your next bicycle.
At Compass Bicycles, we offer the best components for real-world riding — the components we use on our own bikes.
We also wholesale most of the components we sell, so ask your bike shop to contact us about opening a wholesale account.
