Why Choose Cadence International for ALLIED Frames in the EU

Why Buy Your Allied Frame Through Cadence International?

Allied Cycle Works builds some of the finest carbon frames in the world — gravel, road, XC, trail. For a long time, getting one in Europe meant importing from the US: navigating customs paperwork, paying import duties on top of the USD price, and dealing with shipping times and warranty complications from across the Atlantic.

Cadence International was set up to fix that. We're Allied's official distributor for the EU and UK, operating out of Portugal, and our job is to make the whole process straightforward for European riders.

What that actually means for you

Every frame we sell is a genuine Allied product — same build quality, same warranty, same everything. The difference is how it gets to you.

All pricing on our site is VAT-inclusive. What you see at checkout is what you pay. No import duties added on delivery, no surprise customs fees. We handle the logistics from Bentonville to your door.

We ship from Portugal, which means EU buyers receive their frames in a matter of days rather than weeks. Stock items typically arrive within 2–5 business days. Custom paint orders take longer — we'll always confirm lead times upfront.

The consultation is part of the service

Choosing a frame at this level isn't a one-click decision. Sizing, geometry, paint, build spec — there are real choices involved, and getting them right matters. Shane Burke, who runs Cadence, knows Allied inside-out and is available to work through all of it with you directly. Most customers talk to us before they order. That's how it should be.

Custom paint, EU-side

Allied offers an extensive custom paint programme — everything from understated satin finishes to full bespoke colourways. Working with us means that conversation happens in your timezone, in plain language, with EU pricing and lead times. Custom paint starts from €5,700 on the ECHO frameset.
