I'm Graham Foot, the founder, rider, and tester behind Smokestone Bikes—a small, bespoke, bicycle brand nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, UK.
Smokestone was born from my passion for designing bikes that I truly love to ride—machines built to take you on unforgettable adventures, whether they’re short spins or epic journeys that last a lifetime.
Owning the perfect bike is something special, and I’m here to help turn that dream into reality.
Come join the Smokestone riders family and enjoy the ride!

Smokestone is Going pinion
As of May 1st 2025, the Raven will now be pinion only. As for the other frames, you have the option.
Pinion Smart.Shift combines the reliable and nearly maintenance-free Pinion Gearbox technology with up to 12 gears and the advantages of an electric shifting system. Shifting is done at the push of a button – fast, ergonomic, and intuitive. The system shifts while riding, at a standstill, and better than ever before!
Where do you start?
Do you want one of our frames? (See below). Or your own design?
To get things going the first thing is to discuss what you are looking for, the type of riding you like to do, any special features you would like and of course the sizing.
As mentioned you can choose something from our range or we can design something bespoke to you.
Regarding sizing, if you have a current bike you are happy with we can use that as a starting point, but we like to get some basic measurements also. This can be done face to face, via email or video chat.
Once we have your frame details sorted, your order is placed.
A 50% payment is required at the point of placing your order, with the balance on delivery.
