Blackwater Bicycles / Custom Titanium Gravel

3 Notch:
The Blank Canvas

The 3 Notch is where your ideas take form — a titanium gravel platform engineered to be shaped entirely around you. Start with one of our proven stock geometries, then tune the details for your terrain, your fit, your riding style, and the bike you have always wanted to build.

Custom Geometry, fit, mounting options, routing, and ride character can be shaped around your exact needs.
415mm Updated stock chainstay length keeps the platform responsive while leaving room for real gravel setups.
395mm Modern gravel fork axle-to-crown standard for confident handling and larger tire compatibility.
Yours Built as a one-of-a-kind Blackwater machine, not a stock frame with a few small options.
Blank Canvas Platform

Start with a proven shape. Make it entirely yours.

The 3 Notch starts as a clean titanium foundation, then becomes whatever you need it to be. Build it as a fast gravel racer, a long-distance all-road bike, a fully loaded bikepacking rig, or something completely your own.

Geometry, tire clearance, mounts, routing, finish, and component fit can all be tuned around the way you ride and the landscapes you chase.

Fit-Tuned Choose a stock size or adjust reach, stack, angles, and contact points for your exact body position.
Terrain-Tuned Design the frame around fast gravel, mixed roads, bikepacking, chunky terrain, or all-day adventure.
Build-Tuned Plan tire clearance, drivetrain choice, mounts, routing, and cockpit setup before the frame is made.
Purpose-Built A ground-up custom titanium build shaped around your ride, not someone else’s stock idea.
How It Works

Your dream bike starts with the details.

Pick from one of the stock geometries below, then decide what should stay, what should change, and what needs to be built around your riding style.

1. Choose a Base Size Start with the closest stock fit from Extra Small through Extra Large.
2. Tune the Numbers Adjust geometry, tire clearance, handling, mounts, and fit details.
3. Pick the Build Select drivetrain, wheels, cockpit, fork, finish, and custom features.
4. Make It Yours The result is a one-of-a-kind Blackwater built around your vision.
Why 3 Notch Exists

Not a stock frame. A starting point.

The 3 Notch is for riders who know a bike should match the person riding it. Instead of forcing your fit, terrain, and goals into a fixed production frame, 3 Notch gives you a proven titanium platform that can be shaped into the bike you actually want.

Custom Geometry

Start from a stock size or tune reach, stack, angles, chainstay length, bottom bracket drop, and fit numbers to match your riding position.

Custom Features

Add the mounts, routing, tire clearance, drivetrain compatibility, and fork details that make sense for your exact build.

Custom Purpose

Build it for speed, comfort, distance, bikepacking, racing, all-road use, or a balanced gravel setup that does a little of everything.

Geometry

Stock geometry, ready to customize.

Use these numbers as the starting point for your 3 Notch build. The stock geometry below has been updated with a 415mm chainstay length and 395mm fork axle-to-crown.

Sun Bum kit a saver!!
Style: Mineral
Great little bag full of sunscreen for my grandson. Glad we had it to take it everywhere with us. A little pricey but he needs it so instead of taking bunches of bottles we had this.

Sunscreen is great, I would t recommend the chapstick
Style: Original
Sun Bum is hands down the best sunscreen I’ve ever used. It smells incredible, like a tropical vacation with that perfect coconut scent. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave you feeling sticky or greasy, and actually works! As long as I reapply every few hours, I don’t get burned, which is more than I can say for most other sunscreens I’ve tried. The face stick is good, goes on easily, but is a little greasy feeling. I do not like the chapstick, I can’t keep the taste of it out of my mouth and I feel like you have to put it on again and again.

Best smelling lotion on the market, hands down
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am a huge Maui Babe fan. It is, hands down, the best smelling lotion on the market, and I am obsessed with it. It's very smooth and refreshing when I put it on, and it does not leave any sort of sticky residue or greasiness. It's my absolute favorite and I always tell people about it when they comment on how nice I smell :)

The Maui Babe lotion is truly amazing! It smells wonderful and goes on light
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
First of all, let me start of saying I never write reviews, so I hope that tells you something. I bought this lotion while my husband and I were in Hawai'i on our honeymoon. I have freckles with semi-fair skin, so I tend to burn - then tan. The Maui Babe lotion is truly amazing! It smells wonderful and goes on light. We had a Jeep while visiting Hawai'i for 10 days, so I ended up with a slight case of sun poisoning on my chest. I applied the Maui Babe and Aloe for 2 days, and the sun poisoning was gone. I didn't peal AT ALL!! In addition, I literally kept my tan for at least three weeks after returning from Hawai'i. One of the more interesting things; I have noticed a difference in my skin. I have never been much of a makeup person, as I like the natural look. Mascara is it. I am 35, so age is slowly creeping up. I started using Vitamin C serum a year ago, but didn't notice much of a difference. After two weeks of using the Maui Babe; my face had a glow and looks so healthy. My fine lines seem to be less and my skin looks more alive. The lotion doesn't irritate my skin one bit, nor did it cause me to have any sort of pimples; however, I am blessed to have never had an issue in that department. I don't know if it will do the same for you that it has done for me, but I feel that the natural ingredients in this secret lotion are magic. Sometimes it's the simplest things that do the trick. I have everyone in my family using it. I highly recommend it!!
