Engineering Expertise

Ewhurst Bikes is owned by Tom, a professional engineer and Elected Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). His engineering background brings aerospace-level precision, rigorous attention to detail, and a methodical approach to every bike, whether it’s a routine service, bespoke build, or complex repair.

Engineering & Specialist Services

Over the years, Ewhurst Bikes™ has become one of the UK’s leading specialists in bicycle engineering, frame repair, and bespoke performance builds.

Our specialist services include:

  • Titanium frame repair
  • Aluminium frame repair
  • Steel and stainless-steel welding
  • Carbon fibre frame repair
  • Bicycle frame failure analysis
  • Frame and fork design
  • Bespoke frame modifications
  • Structural reinforcement and redesign
  • Seat post removal – when corrosion welded

Having repaired hundreds of damaged frames, we understand not only how to repair them, but why they failed in the first place. Every repair begins with identifying the root cause to ensure the finished bike is safe, reliable, and built to last.

Titanium Frame Repair & Failure Analysis

We don’t just fix the crack—we find out why it failed.

Our specialist engineering expertise covers the full complexity of titanium frame design, failure analysis, fatigue failure, titanium alloys, welding, and structural repair. From a cracked titanium weld to a recurring fatigue failure, we investigate the underlying engineering cause and develop a repair that addresses the problem at its source.

Titanium frame repair and welding are among our core high-value engineering services, combining practical repair capability with in-depth metallurgical and structural engineering expertise.
