Builder Profile

About PDQ:

Powers Design Quality  has been building and repairing custom bicycles since 1989. Rich Powers is the only employee in this one man custom shop.  My  experience  as a custom builder, background in Industrial Engineering and miles of road and off road cycling help me provide the best in quality, design and  fit. I personally design and build you dream bicycles one at a time to accommodate your specific needs. My designs tend to be  conservative and centered around the concept that fit  is critical to performance and handling.  Before construction begins a full size CAD drawing is produced to insure specifications and eliminate guess work. This thorough design and fit  process ensures  you new bicycle is just as you planned.  We are able to offer a variety of options from frame material to construction methods, offering great flexibility when designing you dream bicycle. 

Accurate Fit

If your bicycle does not fit ....nothing else matters. We specialize in difficult to fit cyclists, female and male, small and large.  Each cyclist has their own set of needs based on how and where they ride.  Being a small builder I am able to offer  the attention that you deserve to ensure that your custom bicycle disappears beneath you as the miles roll by.
