We extensively test and research all services we review. Here's why you can trust us.

Expertise - We chose custom bike shops that have skilled mechanics and fitters who understand everything, from commuter builds to high-performance racing machines.

Customization Options - We picked shops that let riders tailor every detail, from frame geometry to handlebars, wheels, and saddles.

Quality of Parts - We looked at shops that source durable, high-grade components and partner with trusted brands to keep bikes running smoothly for years.

Reputation - We included shops with strong local reputations, positive reviews, and a loyal community of cyclists who trust them.

Customer Service - We chose places known for being approachable, patient, and willing to guide both new and experienced riders through the process.

A coworker of mine bought a new bike—or so I thought! It was actually his old one, but now fitted to perfection, with custom gear, a new frame, and awesome wheels.

Now, he proudly cruises to work during the week and takes the same bike out for some mountain biking on weekends. Naturally, I got jealous and brought my own bike to the same place he went to.

If you also want to expertly fit your current bike—or build a new one altogether—here are the best custom bike shops in Toronto that you should prioritize.

How much do custom bicycles cost in Toronto?

In Toronto, custom bicycle builds from scratch usually start around $1,500 to $2,000 for mid-range parts. The cost can climb well past $6,000 to $8,000 for high-end frames and components.
Fitting or upgrading your current bike is more affordable, with professional bike fitting services typically running $200 to $400.

Sweet Pete’s Bike Shop is known as the second home of local cyclists. It’s a full-service shop offering new and custom bikes, parts, apparel, plus repairs and rentals.

We love that their team has over 60 years of experience. It’s led by Mitch, who has tons of certifications (IBFI Level 2, Retul, ISCO, Physio Bike Fit, and more), so you know you’re in good hands.

To help create your dream bike, they offer RETUL Fit, which uses 3D motion-capture tech to analyze your pedaling in real time—perfect for road and gravel riders.

Saddle Pressure Mapping is offered, too, which can show you where pressure points are and how to fix them.

Keep in mind, though, that their service department gets swamped during peak season (April to June). If you need work done, it pays to book early.

Pros

  • Over 60 years of experience
  • Has several certifications
  • Offers RETUL Fit technology
  • Conducts Saddle Pressure Mapping

Cons

Mitch is the best bike fitter out there

“Mitch is the best bike fitter out there (and I’ve been to many over the last 12+ years of riding!). He’s fit my two road bikes and a track bike. He takes his time – and lets the rider take their time – to really get things right. I truly trust Mitch and can’t recommend him highly enough!”

Prices are reasonable & they did a good job 

“I like the honesty and straightforward nature of the salespersons. Moreover, the prices are reasonable, and they did a good job on my bike. I brought in an absolutely garbage bike and they fixed it up, even throwing in extra things where they could to complement my ride. Really appreciate their work and would recommend going there if you need your bike fixed or any quick repairs.”

Enduro Sport has been the go-to of Toronto riders for over 25 years. The team is made up of athletes themselves, which makes their advice and service feel genuine.

Their bike fitting program includes watching you ride on a stationary trainer and carefully evaluating your joint angles and pedaling technique. They can also adjust your saddle and make your bike more aerodynamic.

Plus, their 60-day Bike Fit Guarantee means you can come back for a free re-fit if something still feels off.

In addition to fittings, their service menu includes tune-ups, full annual rebuilds, drivetrain deep cleans, carbon frame repair evaluations, and crash assessments.

A downside is that some cyclists have told us that they can be a little slow to respond at times. This can be frustrating if you’re itching for a custom ride ASAP.

Pros

  • Over 25 years of experience
  • Has a comprehensive bike fitting program
  • Offers a 60-day Bike Fit Guarantee
  • Has a full-service menu

Cons

He customized my bike to fit perfectly

“Had a great experience with Mike and Chris today! They were both incredibly friendly and patient with me. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to help me understand which bike would be the best fit. Chris is clearly a pro—you can see his passion for bikes in the way he customized mine to fit perfectly. I highly recommend this store if you’re looking for your next bike!”

Expert bike fitting allowed me to race

“Extremely grateful for everyone at Enduro Sport’s expertise and assistance. Ran into issues a week before an upcoming triathlon. They got me a bike, including an expert bike fitting, allowing me to race. Can’t thank them enough. They know their stuff, and I would highly suggest going here for anything tri-related!”

Dismount Bike Shop is a family-friendly shop that is the spot to be for those who love bikepacking, mountain trails, gravel roads, or city cruising.

First, they’ll help you map out a plan that works for your needs, budget, and dream bike. 

Then, you can choose from one of their many custom bike packages—a popular one is the Essential Package, which offers safety, reliability, and smoothing out details. If extra parts or labor are needed, they’ll give you a heads up before doing anything.

Just note that we heard about their slow turnaround times, so you might need to wait a bit before getting your bike.

In addition to being a shop, they also have a coffee bar inside, making it a cool hangout spot where cyclists can chill and vibe with each other. 

Pros

  • Maps out a plan for your custom bike
  • Offers various custom bike packages
  • Provides extra parts and labor
  • Has a coffee bar on-site

Cons

Absolute gem in the Toronto cycling scene!

“Dismount is an absolute gem in the Toronto cycling scene! I dropped by to get help setting up a Specialized bag on my handlebars, and the team was super friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to help me get it installed just right. The store itself is beautiful—well-curated, welcoming, and full of high-quality gear. What really stands out is the sense of community they’ve built. Their Wednesday evening group rides are such a fantastic way to bring riders together and create a real cycling ecosystem. You can tell they truly care about supporting cyclists at every level.”

Excellent work with fair pricing

“Fantastic shop, period. Very, very friendly and inviting staff, excellent work with fair pricing, and a wide range of cool bikes, accessories, and the like. Most recently, I had some components switched out, and the turnaround time was quite reasonable. Would highly recommend for your biking needs, questions, whatever. Check it out 👀”

4. Toronto Bike Repair

Business Address: 905 Bloor St W

Website: https://www.torontobikerepair.com/

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/torontobikerepair/

Contact Details: (647) 800-9090

Business Hours:

Mon – Sat: 11 AM – 6 PM

Sunday: 12 PM – 4 PM

Since 2014, Toronto Bike Repair has been a neighborhood staple in Bloorcourt Village, located right at Ossington and Bloor. In fact, they service around 4,000 bikes per year, so you know they’re legit.

It’s run by a team with a background in metal casting and fabrication, giving them an edge when it comes to building custom bikes.

You’ll start with a meeting, which includes a conversation or an assessment so that you have a clear idea of what needs to be done.

Afterward, they’ll walk you through possible custom fixes, tune-ups, upgrades, or repairs. We like that they don’t push unnecessary extras, either.

The only downside is the high pricing. But we think their skill and level of care sort of balance it out.

Pros

  • Over 10 years of experience
  • Services around 4,000 bikes per year
  • Has a background in metal casting & fabrication
  • Starts with a thorough consultation
  • Walks you through possible custom fixes
  • No aggressive upselling

Cons

Great shop with a skill and a heart

“Great shop with a skill and a heart. People there are very results-oriented and try to get your bike fixed and out fast. I’m very much impressed with the high affection and professionalism this bike shop staff has, and would recommend the store over the shops that are “too busy” and even turn you back. Recommend.”

– MY Yord, Google Review

The best people!!!

“The best people!!! Quick, attentive, and will do their best to fix your bike’s issues in the most economical option possible (especially for someone like me who is always on a tight budget). Gets it done at the promised time or even earlier. Totally love it here.”

5. La Bicicletta

Business Address: 1180 Castlefield Ave

Website: https://labicicletta.com/

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/labicitoronto

Contact Details: (416) 762-2679

Business Hours:

Mon – Wed: 10 AM – 6 PM

Thurs – Fri: 10 AM – 6 PM

Saturday: 10 AM – 5 PM

La Bicicletta has been around since 1984, carrying its Italian cycling roots with pride. Today, they’re known as one of Canada’s most trusted bike shops, with a staff that has over a century of combined experience.

Their custom build process starts with a consultation. This is when you lay out your wish list, from disc brakes to electronic gears to deep wheels.

After which, their staff zeroes in on all the little details like bar width, crank length, and saddle position. These touches will help turn your bike into something made just for you.

Finally, the build team puts it all together, providing pro-level assembly and even a dry-fit check before it’s fully finished.

Sure, some riders mention the pricing can feel steep. But in terms of experience alone, we think they could be worth it.

Pros

  • Over a century of combined experience
  • Very comprehensive consultation
  • Zeroes in on little custom details
  • Conducts a dry-fit check

Cons

Incredible build, flawless service

“From Toronto to Vancouver—Henry delivered my ultimate dream bike!”

Henry at La Bicicletta built me a dream machine—a Pinarello Dogma X 595 with Fulcrum Sharq wheels, 4iiii power meter, Dura-Ace, Talon bars, and all the right MOST extras. Shipped from Toronto to Vancouver flawlessly. Incredible build, flawless service. Couldn’t be happier!”

– Willi Isaak, Google Review

Probably the best bike store I’ve been to

“I enjoyed visiting the store today. Probably the best bike store I’ve been to (and I’ve been to a lot), it was an Aladdin’s Cave of high-end bikes, components, and gear, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I’ll be buying my next bike from here, only questions are when and which one?”
