Bastion Cycles may not be a household name (yet), but the company's work with 3D printed titanium lugs combined with carbon fibre tubes, set them apart from the crowd of bespoke frame builders. Like most small operations, Bastion has an interesting story of how it came to be.

The founders of Bastion, Dean, Ben and James were working with Toyota's Technical Centre in Melbourne, Australia in 2014, when the company announced they would be closing the operation by mid-2016. With mortgages to pay and families to support, what's a bloke to do? These blokes figured they could apply their knowledge of vehicle component design to bicycle frames. Thus, in March of 2015, this trio of engineers founded Bastion Cycles, but kudos to the collapse of the Australian automotive industry, else Bastion may never have seen the light of day.
