I came across Grind completely by chance. Since I love unique and customized bikes, I decided to give this small, relatively unknown brand a try.

And I have to say: I’m absolutely happy with my decision.

The whole experience was great, starting with the website, where you can customize and build your bike exactly the way you want it. The bike was delivered on time and professionally assembled — everything was perfect.

But most importantly, the riding experience is simply fantastic. The frame is very stiff, and with my 50 mm wide, fast-rolling tires, the bike feels really quick on the road while still providing plenty of comfort on gravel and farm roads.

For me, it’s the perfect combination of speed, comfort, and individuality.

After debating whether to buy the ARC, I’m so glad I finally went for it. It feels great to support a growing, detail-oriented small and simply cool brand. This bike is incredibly fast. Really fast. Aesthetically? it’s obviously a stunner. The fact that you can easily customize the build to fit your exact riding needs and personal style was a massive selling point for me. I can’t recommend this brand enough!

I’m very happy with my bike from Grind, which I ordered through their website. The entire process—from choosing the components and colour to placing the order—was simple and highly professional. Grind’s bikes are of excellent quality, and the company provides outstanding customer service. Highly recommended.

The Grind Grit is an impeccable all-around bike, delivering huge satisfaction on every pedal stroke—whether on flats, climbs, or descents—with incredible comfort and flawless handling. Grind nailed it, and it was love at first sight. Built from the ground up with a custom color option, it features Deda SL5 wheels, Pirelli P Zero 30mm tires, a Deda Alanera one-piece handlebar, a Shimano Ultegra Di2 12-speed groupset, and a Magene powermeter

I got my Grind Trace frame through my friend and bike mechanic ‘MrD Bike’ ( https://mrdbike.it/ ) here in Italy. As soon as i got intrested in getting a gravel bike he suggested me this model and it is perfect for what I was looking for:

This frame offers way more customizing possibilities than any other bike on the market, We were able to assemble it with a mechanical 2x groupset while still using the integrated handlebars. It can fit big gravel tires while still being light, rigid and aerodinamic enough to efficently use a road-wheeled setup if needed.

The custom-colors option made it possible to customize the aestethics of my bike and create a truly unique ‘1 of 1’ cycle as i imagined it to be. I expecially like, for what concerns the aesthetical aspects, that this frame’s shape and geometry allow the bike to look compact, fast and well proportioned even in a large size like mine.

In conclusion my favourite overall feature is the riding comfort that, for a ‘new cyclist’ like me, instantly changed my riding capabilities from rigid and uncertain to jaunty and secure.

All of these features make a fully versatile bike, from quick and fast road rides to long all-road roadtrips to technical off-road rides.
I would say, a lot more than i expected from a bike that i imagined starting by only its looks.

No need to mention the price, what other product can offer all of this for such a small value?

Thanks a lot to Grind Cycles and MrD Bike for giving me the possibility to own and ride the best bike in the world.

Jeśli chodzi o design, Grind ARC zostawia całą konkurencję daleko w tyle - wizualnie wygrywa wszystko! A co najważniejsze, pod tym obłędnym wyglądem kryje się bezkompromisowa maszyna, która daje czystą satysfakcję z jazdy. Z tego roweru po prostu nie chce się schodzić. Jestem nim zachwycony!

One year ago I was looking for a single bike to do some road and gravel rides ... a fast gravel, light and reactive, I was looking for a frameset to create my DREAM bike.
This bike ... SHE is amazing! Fast on the road, easy to ride on the descend and funny on the gravel.
I'm a bike mechanic, I have a Shop in Italy, after few month I decided to start selling GRIND to my customers!

UPSIDES:
-GrindLAB: every bike is different, SHE is your bike, ONE of ONE!

DOWNSIDES:
-GRINDLAB: everyday I want a new bike! ;)

Awesome bike, awesome customer service – an amazing experience overall.

I believe the level of customization is one of the main reasons so many of us choose Grind. Being able to build your bike exactly the way you want it and pay only for the components you actually want – instead of replacing half of them later – is a privilege that more bike brands should offer.

Thanks, Krystian! Keep up the great work! 🚴

Excellent customer service! Product arrived as specified and the quality is great.

I ordered the Grit frame and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Before purchasing, I was able to test the bike in Kraków, which helped me choose the correct size (XS instead of S).
Designing my own paint job was very important to me — and it’s something that’s rarely offered elsewhere. I received clear, precise guidelines on what could and couldn’t be customized, chose my colors, and felt fully supported throughout the process. Communication was transparent at every stage, the timeframe was clearly communicated, and the frame arrived earlier than expected. When I opened the box, my jaw dropped — the paint was perfectly in line with what I had drawn. I’ve been riding the bike for over six months now, and it’s been flawless.

I ordered my road bike at the beginning of the year, and the entire experience has been nothing short of excellent. Communication throughout the process was clear, friendly, and professional — every question I had was answered quickly, and I always felt up to date on progress.

Krystian helped me choose the perfect color for the logo so that it tied in beautifully with the rest of the bike’s finish. That attention to detail really shows in the final product.

The build was completed and delivered right on schedule, and the quality is absolutely top-notch. The bike rides smoothly, feels incredibly well-balanced, and looks even better in person than I imagined. I couldn’t be happier with both the craftsmanship and the service.

Highly recommend!

The brand guided me through every component choice and adjustment detail, so my Grind fits me perfectly and feels great to ride. It surprised me with its speed on the flats, smoothness on rough terrain and amazing responsiveness. This bike makes every kilometre a pleasure, rediscovering the fun of exploring while also performing well when things get faster.

I wanted a custom painted frame inspired by Metallica Ride The Lightning album and am very happy with end result. Paint looks great and no issues with quality of paintjob so far. Whole process of order was very smooth with possiblity to incorporate some parts not available in Grind builder directly (e.g. tyres and handlebar). So far I did around 4,000 km on my GR1ST and had no mechanical or other issues, thus build quality is super good. During order I also received help with components selection to fit my riding style and I did no adjustments after shipment: no bike fitting was needed :)

An incredible bike that goes absolutely anywhere. Krystian was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the whole configuration and ordering process – patient, knowledgeable, and always ready to recommend the best solutions. From the first contact to delivery, everything was handled with top-level professionalism. After a few hundred kilometers, I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Highly recommend Grind Cycles and their bikes!

Hello, before i start my review a short summary. The GRIND GR1ST and everything around it, is perfect!

I built the bike with Grind LAB, after my submit, Krystian reached out to me and checked if everything i ordered is right and my special requests are worked thru. I am from Germany, so GRIND needed to offer me a bank transfer who worked for me, this was done in one Mail - easy as everything else! After a month of building i asked for an Update, they told me my Bike will be packed in one day. A week later i got the bike, deliverd by my Postman. It was packed in a big box, every part was covered in styrofoam. It was packed really well! Then i had to mount the seatpost, the wheels, the handlbars and the pedals. Also very easy, on every part is a scale for torque, also they sent carbon past und grease.

Right now i have the bike for 6 months. No problems at all. Its an eye catcher! It rides great, the parts are top tier. The frame and fork are very good processed. The paint job is fantastic, just look at the pictures. I ride loops with 30-50 kilometers, on the weekend 100 kilometers and the ride feeling is so perfect. Its comfortable in hard situations and also very stiff and lightweight on the streets and hills. I think the bike will be by my side forever.

Without a doubt, i recommend GRIND! Keep up the good work and built many more bikes. Also the service is an important point for me and it was top tier. I'm really happy with the bike and everthing around it.

Greeting from Germany - Keep on GRINDING baby
