Bohemian Bicycles

Bohemian Bicycles, also known as Bohemian Custom Bicycles, is an American bicycle manufacturer and framebuilding school based in Tucson, Arizona. David Bohm founded the business in 1994. Unlike high-volume bicycle brands that primarily sell standardized models, Bohemian is associated with handmade steel bicycle frames constructed using traditional lugged-frame methods. Its activities therefore combine custom bicycle production with specialist education in framebuilding. The company expanded into framebuilding instruction in 2006, adding a school component to its manufacturing work. This positions Bohemian within the small-scale North American handmade-bicycle sector, where craftsmanship, individualized construction, and knowledge of frame design are central to the brand proposition. The available reference material does not identify a broad model range, major corporate parent, public listing, international retail network, or detailed sales history. Bohemian Bicycles has nevertheless received recognition from the North American Handmade Bicycle Association, supporting its standing within the handmade bicycle and independent framebuilding community. Publicly documented information is limited, so detailed claims about current ownership, leadership beyond the founder, product specifications, markets outside the United States, and present operating scale cannot be established from the available sources.

Bohemian Bicycles was established in Tucson, Arizona, in 1994 by David Bohm. The business developed as a specialist bicycle maker rather than as a mass-market manufacturer, with its work centered on handmade steel frames assembled through lugged construction. This method is associated with traditional framebuilding and allows a maker to produce bicycles with a strong emphasis on workmanship and customized design. The brand is also known as Bohemian Custom Bicycles, a name that reflects its focus on individually made bicycle products. In 2006, Bohemian expanded beyond frame production by establishing a framebuilding school. This broadened the business from a workshop producing bicycles into an organization that also teaches the technical craft of bicycle-frame construction. The school dimension is significant because it places the company within the educational and artisanal side of the bicycle industry, where practical skills, fabrication methods, and design knowledge are transmitted directly to builders. Bohemian Bicycles has subsequently received recognition from the North American Handmade Bicycle Association. That recognition connects the company with the wider North American handmade-bicycle movement and provides evidence of industry visibility within its specialist field. The available reference material does not document additional corporate expansions, acquisitions, named product generations, detailed campaigns, financial results, or a change in ownership. It also does not establish a comprehensive international distribution footprint. Accordingly, the documented history remains focused on the company’s founding, its move into framebuilding education, and its recognition as a participant in handmade bicycle craftsmanship.
