The blog from The Ark Cycles discusses the dilemma cyclists face when choosing between custom-made and mass-produced bikes. Custom bikes offer a perfect fit, personalized design, and high craftsmanship, ideal for those with unique sizing needs or specific preferences. However, they can be more expensive. On the other hand, mass-produced bikes are more affordable, readily available, and consistent in quality, making them a great option for standard-sized riders. The choice ultimately depends on individual needs, budget, and preferences. The Ark Cycles offers expert advice and a wide range of both custom and mass-produced bikes.
