Company History
Under the Archive name, a boutique workshop approach blends industrial design with hand fabrication. Projects emphasize proportion, clean looms, and serviceable components so art remains rideable. Documentation—wiring diagrams, torque specs—accompanies deliveries, unusual for fully bespoke builds. The studio ethos values tactile materials—billet, leather, raw steel—and restrained geometry that tracks straight rather than show-only stances. Archive represents the modern craft movement in motorcycling: fewer bikes, more attention per unit, and a belief that elegance arises from function executed precisely.
