Atherton Bikes

Rider measurements in, a made-to-measure frame out. A Magento store that runs the factory’s own geometry in the browser, and a custom ERP that tracks every component to a build slot.

01E-commerce

Built around the bike, not the basket

The store leads with the bikes and the people who race them, with editorial sitting alongside the catalogue so a frame arrives with its story attached. Product, content and checkout all run on Magento.

02Fit calculator

Your measurements, their geometry

Atherton build frames to the rider, so the site has to ask the questions a fitter would. Working with their in-house engineer we took the geometry calculations the factory already used and ran them in the browser. Enter height, inside leg and arm span, and the calculator returns the frame that fits, or the starting point for a fully custom build.

03Custom ERP

Every component, tracked to a build slot

Behind the store sits an ERP we built for the factory. Frames are stock-controlled down to the component, with dependencies tracked against a build-slot calendar, so an order placed on the site comes back with a real date for when the bike will be finished.
