We build the bikes we'd want.

You've done the research. You know the brands — Yoeleo, Evolve, Seka, Light Bicycle, Winspace, ICAN, the small carbon makers most riders haven't heard of. You've compared layups, spec'd the build in your head, watched the price-tracker threads. You know the bike you'd build is in there.

What you don't want is the rest of it. Wiring money to a seller you've never met. Working out which tariff column applies. Carrying the currency risk while a payment clears. Chasing fit measurements. Figuring out who to talk to if something goes wrong after the bike ships.

That's where we come in. I'm Dimitri Blondeel — the founder, and a Belgian by birth. I grew up where cycling is the national sport, and I've been obsessed with bikes for as long as I can remember. Domestique started, honestly, as a way to fund an expensive habit: “could I source one of those for me?” turned into “let me source one for you too.”

We're a small, founder-run operation in Kirkland, WA. That's the point: a real name behind every build, and someone you can actually reach. We don't make frames and we don't import containers. We're a concierge — you spec it, we source it, assemble it, and ship it ready to ride.

And yes — a complete bike straight from a factory can come in cheaper than ours. I'm not going to pretend otherwise, and I'm not trying to win on price. What I'm offering is the part that's actually hard: the right parts chosen for you, sourced through the proper channel and imported clean, a real person on the hook from spec to doorstep, and a build I guarantee. Every SRAM, Shimano and Campagnolo groupset I fit is bought here in the US through authorised channels and, where the brand allows, registered in your name — so it carries the manufacturer's own warranty rather than a grey-market dead end. If a claim comes up I'll point you to the right contact — and when it helps, you can talk to the people who actually built your bike.

If that's the gap you've been looking to close, we'd like to help.
