Waterford

Waterford

Waterford is a hand-builder of fine custom bicycle frames. Its factory is located in Waterford, Wisconsin, just outside Milwaukee. Founded in 1993, Waterford took over Schwinn Bicycle Company’s Paramount Design Group research and production facility.

Founded by Richard Schwinn and Marc Muller, Waterford built on the Paramount history of excellence and performance and has established its own reputation the custom bicycle world.

Gunnar

Gunnar

Founded in 1998, Gunnar is a fully owned subsidiary of Waterford Precision Cycles and specializes in hand-built, TIG-welded air-hardening steel bicycle frames. Their products inherit the legacy and merits of Waterford craftsmanship, but at a lower price range.

Gunnar was named after a beloved factory dog, who represented the qualities they aspired for – and continually achieve – in their bikes: reliability, strength, toughness and friendliness.

About Stone's Cyclery

Distinguished Bicycles and Personal Service

Founded in 1943, Stone’s Cyclery is a multi-generational familiy business that is as steeped in the history of their neighborhood home of Alameda, California as in the history of American performance bicycle manufacture itself. The shop’s enduring, close ties with the Waterford Precision Cycles family, and with Schwinn/Paramount prior to that, as well as Bob Jackson Cycles and highly esteemed Northern California frame builders reflect the kind of commitment to product excellence brought to the unique customer satisfaction and experience they offer.

Stone’s Cyclery may be praised by the website Classic Rendezvous as “the dream shop for vintage bike lovers”, but offers the newest and latest in bicycle product offerings as well. Although modern high performance is never compromised in the shop’s selective product line, we celebrate the timeless and proven over the trendy. The distinguished quality of our bikes will thrill you no less.
