About Us
Company Overview
Jack Kane Custom Racing Bicycles is a professional custom design bicycle company based in Jacksonville, North Carolina. We have grown nationally almost entirely via word of mouth. When our bicycles pass you on the road, you immediately notice the panache the custom paint job exudes. We believe that when you invest thousands of dollars into a bicycle and ultimately your well-being, you don’t have to settle for the mass-produced paint jobs and stock components. No one ever likes seeing someone else with the same bike on a group ride or race. With us, you will never have that problem.
Our Bikes have Stories. Our customers write them. We work alongside you to create your unique custom painted bicycle and configure your bike to meet your component needs. We do this through superior attention to detail from the frame selection all the way to the type of tire. Jack has over 39 years of industry experience and knowledge. Thus, he has worked with our partners to design a superb and work-horse ready line of carbon, integrated carbon/aluminum, and aluminum bikes. Like you, our bikes are unique. Stand out. Ride a Kane.
What’s Done in-house in North Carolina
Bike Design – Similar to almost every other bicycle company in the U.S., we work with our partners in Asia to determine our geometries, carbon construction, design, etc, but ultimately, we have the final say about our frames. They are designed by us for us.
Assembly – Unlike most of our competitors, we receive our Kane frames in their raw states. They are never pre-assembled with components or parts. All assembly is done in-house.
Painting – Jack prepares, paints, and finishes every frame in North Carolina, U.S.A.
Restorations — We bring frames back to life.
Carbon Repair — We’ve been involved with carbon since the 80s.
There are only a handful of companies that can say “yes” to everything listed above. We’re one of them.
Future Growth
Nation-wide – Invest in Your Uniqueness
Forget identically mass-produced painted bicycles. We want to empower riders all across the country to build a bike to their exact desires and break the monotony within the industry. Kane riders are a vibrant bunch of people!
Sponsored Teams and Riders – Ambassadors of our Brand
Companies can push the latest technologies, but if it is not rider-proven, it is useless. We want our riders to be involved in making our bikes better. We benefit. They benefit. YOU benefit.
Stand Out – Don’t be just another bike in the peloton or TT course.
We want the weekly rides, the race pelotons, the triathlon courses, and every bike ride to be enhanced. No one wants to see anyone else on their bike, so design it to reflect who you are. Make it a Kane.
History
Founded by father, Jack Kane, and son, Jonathan Kane, Jack Kane Custom Racing Bicycles has been in business since 2001. Jack Kane has been in the bicycle industry since 1973, but it was not until 2001 that he broke out on his own. Based in Jacksonville, North Carolina, home to Marine base Camp Lejeune, we diversified our business across the country.
Kane Bicycles is geared towards the causal rider through the professional racing crowds and those wanting to create a bike unique to them. We thrive on superior performance and durability. Thus, we have garnered a lot of attention over the years from our sponsorship of U.S. cycling teams. Through our sponsorships and customer satisfaction, Kane Bikes is steadily growing in prominence.
We have made a name for ourselves due to the quality of our machines, but have truly separated ourselves from other companies due to the artistry of Jack’s professional custom bicycle painting and designing. No two of our bikes are the same.
