Founder, designer and builder
The official story names Sam and describes the team making custom bicycle frames.
A custom bike begins with the rider. Naked describes an in-person fitting on Quadra Island and a remote route using existing-bike information or a professional fitter. Bring the roads you ride, the loads you carry and the parts you want to use into the design discussion.
The Gravel and AllTerrain families offer two starting points for a titanium build. Gravel is aimed at backroads and lighter adventures; AllTerrain opens a discussion about larger tyres and carrying options. The maker describes cutting, shaping, welding and finishing frames in its workshop. Bought-in components still need their own origin and compatibility checks.
Ordering happens through build windows. Joining the initial list is separate from paying a deposit and approving a design. Settle the frameset or complete-bike specification, payment stages and delivery plan before committing. Pickup and shipping are described, with transport and packing costs to confirm for your destination.

The published Gravel prices and AllTerrain clearance figures differ within their pages, so agree the exact build directly. Arrange a workshop visit before travelling.
The official contact page locates Naked on Quadra Island, B.C.; its story and fabrication pages describe custom frame-making there. This is a Canadian workshop connection. Tubing, forks, wheels and other purchased components do not inherit a Canadian-origin label from the frame builder.
