Here's what people are saying:
I was very excited when I saw my finished bike. This is the first custom bike for me and this process allows you to take home a bike that is built based on your every request.
I wanted a bike that could be more versatile than my road bike. Dave is excellent to work with, as he is extremely knowledgeable, both as a cyclist in various disciplines and as a builder. He’s very good at asking what you would like and making suggestions you weren’t aware of.
My bike has a White Industries crank set, which, I believe, is the first time Dave has used this set. I also agreed to try tubeless tires, which I was wary of using based on the fact that I tend to ride longer distances.
I was referred to Dave by my trainer Matt S. and it was fun choosing every component, as well as the colors.
I only picked up my bike two days ago, so I haven’t ridden it too many miles, but my first impressions were that it is very smooth and quite comfortable. I’m using SRAM components for the first time and getting used to shifting. The 1X chainring is also new to me.
Purchasing a custom built bike is a process that everyone should enjoy!

Extremely happy with my Ferretti custom cyclocross bike I purchased this year! After testing one of Dave’s personal race bikes in a CX race I was hooked. From the very first pedal stroke you can feel the stiffness of the frame and how quickly it accelerates. One thing that’s very apparent is this bike was built to perform. It corners with speed and can handle anything you throw at it including a technical high speed MTB descent. It’s stable, instills confidence in speed and the steel frame just feels really good. I am very pleased to ride a custom Ferretti, it truly handles like no other stock bike I’ve ridden. Well that’s just it, it’s a custom bike frame built for performance to meet the specific desires of a bike aficionado. Oh, and the best part is, it’s beautiful, a hand crafted custom built frame with an amazing paint job that really pops. I am constantly getting compliments on how beautiful she is. I highly recommend you test ride one, you have to feel the difference.

If there is anything even close to as much fun as riding a bicycle custom built just for you, it would be the process that goes along with a handcrafted one off beauty.
One of the perks of having a bike rise out of a pile of tubes is having endless options on every aspect of the build. When my mind exploded with possibilities Dave did a great job of walking me through where we should pay a little more attention. As well as things that were not as important when looking at what I was expecting from this future piece of artwork.
Initially I wanted to not know anything about color..a complete surprise. as it turns out I cannot handle not knowing. What Mr. Ferrett came up with from what little I was able to describe I wanted is freaking beautiful.
After going through this process, i clearly know a lot less than i once thought. Dave was the best person to go to and to be taken through the process by. I could not have been happier with anything.
Not surprising the bike was immediately comfortable...as it was created just for me. The Bronze Bomber and I went on a few short rides and then managed to make it around Lake Erie....in record time....World Record time. My new Ferretti did all the hard work.

So, I asked Dave to build a drop bar mountain bike similar to my Fargo but slightly more aggressive. He asked questions about what I wanted to do with the bike, took measurements. Asked what I liked, what I didn't like.
When the frame was close to being done we talked about components and paint. Choosing a paint job when you have no limits is tough but after seeing what he could do, I figured it out pretty quick.
Dave was extremely helpful choosing components and when it came time to put it all together he was right there.
Dave also built a new set of wheels. They are beautiful, light and strong.
If you decide that you need a well built custom bike you should seriously consider having Dave build you a Ferretti. You won't be disappointed!

Thank you very much David and Ferretti Cycles for my road bike wheel set. I’m highly impressed and couldn’t be happier! Since day one dealing with David was awesome. His effort and interest in my cycling needs was all over excellent. The communication before, during and after my purchase was outstanding. And most important the wheels are built perfectly :-) I highly recommend David and Ferretti Cycles! I’m sure I’ll ride a custom made frame made by David in the near future.
