Origin - 2024
Built In My Office
In November of 2024, Atlus Bikes started in a home office with a simple objective: build an outdoor sports brand focused on well-designed, cost-conscious components. In the early days, I sourced parts directly from overseas manufacturers, vetted samples myself, and handled end-to-end logistics. Inventory wasn’t stored in a warehouse. It was stacked in my closet. Every shipment was received, inspected, labeled, and packed by hand before going out the door.
Orders were processed daily from my house, often late at night after long days spent working my regular full-time job. There was no outside funding, no marketing agency, and no excess overhead, just disciplined purchasing, careful quality control, and a commitment to delivering parts I would run on my own bike. Atlus was built methodically from the ground up, one shipment and one customer at a time.
