Pearson
Pearson holds a rare place in British cycling. Founded in Sutton, London, in 1860, it has remained connected to the Pearson family across five generations and is recognised by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest bicycle brand. Today, that heritage is expressed through a focused range of modern carbon road and gravel frames, designed in London for riders who value performance but do not want to sacrifice fit, comfort or individuality.
That balance makes Pearson a natural partner for us at Crafted Cycles. Their bikes are not shaped solely around the demands of professional racers. Pearson’s current geometry has been informed by more than 3,000 professional bike fits gathered over 13 years, giving the brand a deep understanding of how real riders differ in proportion, mobility and riding goals. The result is a range that feels purposeful and fast, while remaining approachable enough to enjoy beyond race day.

We choose frame partners who bring something distinctive to a custom build, and Pearson offers an unusual combination of British heritage, modern carbon engineering and fit-led design. Their range gives us clear, purposeful platforms that we can shape around the rider, rather than forcing the rider to adapt to an off-the-peg specification.
Whether your ideal bike is made for fast road miles, gravel racing or self-supported adventure, we invite you to explore the Pearson range with us and create a Crafted Cycles build that reflects how, where and why you ride.
