Since 2006, Above Category has been exploring what makes a great bicycle.
We seek out interesting builders, work closely with the people behind the products, and bring together the experience, knowledge, and attention to detail that make each bicycle its own.
Our goal is simple: to create bicycles that are as enjoyable to ride as they are to own.
You’ll find us in Sausalito, California, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. Whether you’re nearby or halfway around the world, we’d be happy to work with you.
