B-9 NH Urban Stealth
Singlespeed urban bicycle inspired by the geometry and visual language of the F-117 Nighthawk aircraft.
Handcrafted. One at a time.
BME Design
Unique bicycles shaped by experimental engineering, bold aesthetics, and precise craftsmanship.
Collection
This collection presents a selection of bicycle projects developed over time — from early experimental frames to later designs exploring materials, construction methods and form. What began as a personal hobby gradually evolved into small-scale production, and today continues as independent bicycle design and bike art.
B8 Series frames
Series of handmade frames in bamboo, carbon, titanium and hybrid constructions, each offering a distinct ride feel and character.
Yellow Blackbird & Bamboozler MTB
Handmade MTB frames combining carbon and natural bamboo tubes in a lugged construction.
S72 Saddles
Lightweight racing saddle system with a simple single-bolt adjustment.
Electric Flat Bar Gravel Bike
Experimental electric gravel bike designed to integrate the motor system without the typical e-bike appearance.
X-9 Nighthawk
Experimental frame based on sandwich panels with aramid honeycomb core and carbon skins.
Carbon C-Thru Road Frame
Concept carbon frame exploring a framed structural approach to bicycle construction.
Titanium Riveted Frame
Frame built from laser-cut and bent titanium sheets joined with stainless steel rivets.
Bamboo Composite Frame
Experimental composite frame laminated from processed bamboo fiber fabric.
Early Works
Early projects marking the beginning — first carbon and bamboo frames along with initial experimental components.
About BME Design
BME Design is an independent design studio based in Slovakia, focused on the development of unique bicycles and experimental concepts.
All projects are designed and built by Braňo Mereš. His work began in the early 2000s with self-built carbon composite, bamboo and other experimental frames, driven by curiosity and a desire to explore unconventional materials and construction methods.
What started as a personal hobby gradually evolved into small-scale production. Today, the work continues as independent development, exploring new ideas through bicycle design and bike art projects.
Alongside bicycle design, Braňo is involved in energy-related projects focused on thermal engineering, district heating systems and renewable energy, while also working in industrial design, photography and photogrammetry.
