RatKing Frames was started by Smith Levi in 2013. Levi creates custom hand build bicycles and steel frame repairs in Oakland, California.
After studying bicycle design and fabrication under countless builders across the country, Levi has honed his craft in making purpose built bicycles with a no nonsense aesthetic. RatKing Frames are made to use and abuse.
All though specializing in cyclocross and dirt touring bicycles, Levi builds everything from road to mountain bikes and any combination of everything in between.
