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.

I had a PS4 for years and thought, "Why do I need a PS5?" Then Death Stranding: On The Beach was released. Great games on this console!

If you're here, just get it, especially the disc version. You will not regret it.
Style: PS5 Disc, Configuration: Console only
This PlayStation 5 console is objectively one of the best purchases I have ever made. As we get older, we forget to keep having fun and experiencing life and everything that it has to offer. Coming from a Wii, the transition has been nothing short of astounding. The speed and responsiveness are unbelievable; it's like stepping into a whole new world of gaming and entertainment. Pairing streaming apps is an effortless process, and the visual quality of movies and TV shows has been elevated to a whole new level of stunning clarity. The ethernet port provides a rock-solid connection, eliminating any lag or interruptions, which is a huge plus for online gaming. The numerous USB ports offer so much flexibility, allowing me to connect my noise-canceling headphones directly to the system, which is incredibly convenient. However, be warned, while it advertises 1TB of storage, you're realistically looking at around 830GB. Modern games are surprisingly data-hungry, and I already feel the pinch, with only about 100-150GB remaining. I would highly recommend opting for the 2TB model from the get-though, as the 1TB will fill up quickly. Games like Ratchet & Clank and Sackboy are incredibly fun and engaging, and I'm excited to dive into the Kingdom Hearts series soon. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been a blast in both multiplayer and the zombie modes, showcasing the console's power and performance. Also, seriously consider the disc version. I initially thought 4K was 4K, no matter the source, but I was completely wrong. The difference between streaming 4K and watching a 4K disc is night and day; the picture is crisp, the sound is rich, and the overall viewing experience is simply immersive. Apparently, streaming 4K is compressed, which I had no idea about. For movie and TV enthusiasts, this is an investment that pays off handsomely. Imagine experiencing iconic films like "The Dark Knight," "Interstellar," or "Inception" with this level of visual and audio quality. Even shows like "Arcane" and the Spider-Verse movies would look absolutely breathtaking. I now understand why physical media still has a place, especially for my favorite movies and TV shows that I'll rewatch countless times. The ability to watch these titles in pristine 4K, regardless of internet connectivity, is a huge bonus, especially for families.

PlayStation 5 is a beast
Style: PS5 Disc, Configuration: Console only
I never thought I would be a gamer at 62yrs old but after playing the PlayStation 5 at my cousins home & seeing the great graphics ,the choice of all the different types of games available for anyone's & everyone's interest, I had to have one. Are they expensive? Yeppers! But, they are well worth it as this will last for many many years, even if I wind up in a retirement home, this will come with me & I will never be bored. I might drive someone else "Batty" ( if I have a room mate he wont be there for long but thems the breaks kid!) This was purchased at an absolute excellent price & I am very thankful. Delivery was fast & on time. Thank you
