As a mechanic, I’ve worked on countless brands over the years. Drawing from that experience, I’ve chosen brands that align with Stoker’s Studio’s commitment to quality—companies that build their bikes with the same attention to detail that we put into every project.
Orbea bikes embody a rich heritage of craftsmanship and innovation. Founded in 1840 in the Basque Country, Orbea started as a family-run business and has grown into a globally recognized brand. What truly sets Orbea apart is that they are a employee-owned cooperative. This unique model ensures that every employee has a stake in the company, fostering a sense of pride and dedication to excellence in every bike they produce. Orbea’s bikes are known for their meticulous attention to detail, lightweight designs, and exceptional performance across road, mountain, and gravel disciplines.
At Stoker's Studio, we carry Orbea because they align with our values of quality, integrity, and customization. Their MyO program allows riders to personalize their bike’s colors and specifications, making it a perfect fit for the custom builds we specialize in. Orbea bikes represent a blend of heritage, innovation, and community spirit that we’re proud to bring to Asheville cyclists.
Parlee Cycles is renowned for their obsessive attention to detail and commitment to performance-driven design. Founded by Bob Parlee in Massachusetts, the brand has been making custom carbon bikes in the USA since 2000—long before carbon was the industry standard. Parlee was built on a vision to harness the benefits of carbon fiber—lightweight, strength, and ride-tuned stiffness—without compromising the feel and soul of the ride. Every frame reflects a deep understanding of how a bike should handle: smooth, responsive, and efficient. Their in-house development, small-batch production, and custom geometry options set them apart in a world dominated by mass production.
We’re proud to work with Parlee because their values align perfectly with ours—craftsmanship, precision, and rider-first design. Their newest ready-made models, like the award-winning Ouray all-road bike and the Taos extreme gravel bike, bring Parlee's signature ride quality to a wider audience while maintaining premium construction and finish. For those seeking a truly one-of-a-kind build, Parlee also offers fully custom frames, including geometry, layup, and fit. Custom paint is available on every model, whether off-the-rack or fully bespoke, allowing each bike to reflect the personality and preferences of its rider.
