Handcrafting titanium frames in Australia since 2016.
People
Building a titanium frame that satisfies the highest standards is a demanding endeavour, one that is best handled by a small team of specialists. That's what Chris Morgan, Mooro's founder, discovered after building his first titanium frame in 2016. Every member of the Mooro team brings something unique to its products, be it in the workshop, paint booth, or behind the scenes, refining our 3D-print files or web presence.
Place
All Mooro frames, stems and seatposts are built in our workshop located in Perth on the west coast of Australia. Our name, Mooro, honours one of the regions occupied by the traditional owners of the land around Perth. It's an important acknowledgement that helps our sense of place and brings us closer to the land that sustains our activities.
Parts
Every Mooro frame is made from Grade 9 (3%Al/2.5%V) titanium tubing that is carefully selected to meet the demands of each design. The same level of discerning care is also applied to the rest of the frame—from the head tube to the dropouts—with the end result being a reasonably lightweight frame that will be hard wearing whilst delivering the sublime ride quality that titanium is known for.
Process
Buying a Mooro frameset requires a number of choices, starting with the geometry of the frame and any extra fittings that might be needed. We also need to know about your choice of running gear and your desires for the final finish of the frame and fork.
Once you have made contact, discussed your riding preferences, and have received your fit numbers (if a bike fit has been performed), we will draw up your frame. Once we have agreed on the design we ask for a deposit of 50% of the final price. Once the frame is completed we will collect the final balance owing on your order.
Finishing
Since every Mooro frame is built one at a time, we are able to offer our customers a range of options for the final finish of the frame, fork, stem and seatpost. These include bead-blasting that shows off the raw beauty of titanium, a choice cerakote or anodised colours, and even personalised artwork. The latter includes commissioned designs by a local Aboriginal artist.
Products
Our current frame catalogue comprises four models, two for the road, and two for all-road/gravel riding. Customers can choose to buy a frameset with a range of finishes and options.
