As PROPAIN grows in North America, I’ll be posting regular updates on what the PROPAIN North America Crew is doing to increase transparency and improve the experience for you all.
Dear Friends,
At Propain Bicycles LLC, we’ve always made it a priority to offer high-quality bikes at fair prices to our customers across the United States and Canada. We work hard to keep our operating structure lean and efficient, assembling our bikes locally here in the U.S. while supplying through the best OEMs in the industry. This hybrid model allows us to maintain high standards, stock the latest components, and remain competitive in the market. This model isn’t easy, but it sure is fun.
In recent months, we’ve also invested heavily in our planning and operations teams to become
more agile in our supply and sharper in our execution. As a result, your dream build is now shipped to you in days rather than weeks or months (Q1 average was 9 days overall for all new orders); something we’re incredibly proud of and excited to share with you, our friends.
However, external factors still apply and that’s the main reason we’re reaching out now. As many of you know, changes in U.S. trade policy have started to directly affect our industry, similar to many industries built around global supply chains. Propain and many of our friends in the industry are carefully balancing decisions to help keep products in stock and keep our prices as low as possible.
We’re in a fortunate position that we began planning ahead for disruptions in early in 2025. But, we also want to be transparent about what may lie ahead for those considering your new ride for 2025. It is likely that over time we will be unable to fully absorb the current inbound cost increases, and we want to be here for the long term for you, our customers (and friends). If further tariffs are introduced or existing reciprocal tariffs remain in place, we may be forced to adjust our prices by around 10% starting in mid-June.
To give you time to plan and to thank you for your loyalty, Propain Bicycles LLC will hold current pricing for all U.S. and Canadian customers through June 15, 2025. Any orders placed before that date will not be affected by any price adjustments, even if the product you order is out of stock and our costs change during your build window.
We appreciate your understanding as we navigate these external challenges. Together, we will get through this but for now please rest assured that we remain fully committed to providing the best bikes, the best customer experience at the most competitive prices possible.
At Propain Bikes, we build the best bikes for us and our friends – direct to you, from fully customized bikes to our pre-configured Signature Spec builds. Our bikes are available directly through our website and from our Showroom in Vancouver, Washington, USA. We are centrally located in Southern Washington, right across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. This is where we ride, test, and build the very best custom bikes…from our team, to our friends, shipped throughout North America.
