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.

Dog approved.
Size: X-Large, Color: Cheese
I’m a 70 lbs Goldendoodle (supposed to be 65, don’t ask) and I love cheese. Real cheese. Sharp cheddar with sourdough bread is my dream, but apparently I’m “on a health journey,” so my people bought me this instead. Does this bone actually taste like cheese? No. I am not fooled. Do I still enjoy chewing it loudly while my humans are trying to watch TV? Absolutely yes. This bone satisfies my need to chew and my emotional desire for cheese-adjacent activities. It keeps me busy, saves the furniture, and lets me crunch dramatically during important dialogue scenes. The yellow color is nice — very cheese-coded — although some cheeses are white, so just something to consider for future versions. Also, good news: it doesn’t smell like cheese at all, which my humans seem very grateful for. Apparently they don’t want the carpet to smell like a deli. Weird. Final verdict: Not cheese. Still enjoyable. Would chew again. ~Barley

Withstands big dog
Color: Green Cactus
As a dog mom to two active pups, I’ve gone through a LOT of chew toys over the years and honestly, many of them just didn’t hold up. Some cracked, broke apart quickly, or became rough after only a short time of chewing. That’s why I was genuinely impressed with the MewaJump chew toy. Both of my dogs immediately loved it, and what stood out most to me was how durable it’s been compared to other toys we’ve tried. It’s held up really well with aggressive chewing while still seeming safe and comfortable for them to use. I also love that it keeps them entertained and engaged longer without constantly worrying about pieces breaking off. Definitely one of the better dog toys we’ve added to our home lately and Molly and Piper would agree.

Not recommended for strong chewers.
Color: Green Cactus
There was nothing wrong with this. But my dog is an absolute destroyer. She makes it her personal mission to annihilate any toy I buy. This did not last 30 minutes. Very cute and good for normal dogs that like to actually have toys to play with. Do not recommend for strong jaw destroyers.

Durable for light to medium chewers - not heavy
Color: Green Cactus
obviously cute. not super durable - lasted a good minute but disintegrates fairly quickly and eventually nothing was left - having to high monitor with a big chewer. (10 mo Great Dane)
