How Bike Cave Is Turning Mafia Bikes Into Fully Custom Builds
Bike Cave NY Is Now Offering Custom Mafia Bikes and We’re Proud to Be Part of the Builds!
Some news we’ve been excited to share. Bike Cave NY is now offering custom Mafia Bikes builds in store, and seeing these bikes come together has been unreal.
For anyone who follows BMX, both names will already mean something.
Bike Cave NY has built a reputation for doing things properly. They don’t just sell bikes. They build them, tweak them, and finish them in a way that makes riders stop and look.
Mafia Bikes, meanwhile, are gaining real traction in the US. Their frames are bold, their designs are confident, and their bikes have a personality that stands out in a sea of lookalikes.
Seeing these two come together felt like a natural fit.
And we’re genuinely buzzing that Insane Chains are part of the builds.
Who The Bike Cave NY Are
The Bike Cave NY is not about pushing boxes out the door.
They are the kind of shop that steps back from a stock build and asks a simple question.
How do we make this bike feel finished?
That mindset is exactly why their custom builds stand out. Colour balance matters. Small details matter. And every choice feels intentional.
Who Mafia Bikes Are
And Why People Are Paying Attention
Mafia Bikes are not trying to be subtle.
Models like the Medusa, Bomma, La Plaga, and FTG are designed to turn heads straight out of the box. Strong frames. Confident geometry. Bikes built to be ridden, not hidden away.
That makes them a perfect base for custom work.
Bike Cave isn’t changing what Mafia Bikes are. They’re enhancing them.
Where Insane Chains Fit In
This is the part we’re especially proud of.
Bike Cave regularly snaps Insane Chains onto their custom builds, not as an afterthought, but as part of the overall look.
You’ll see:
-
Chrome and purple Insane Chains on a La Plaga to tie the colourway together
-
A white Bomma finished with pink and teal Insane Chains to match the wheels
-
A purple Medusa running solid gold Insane Chains for a clean, high contrast finish
The chain stops being something you ignore and becomes part of the bike’s identity.
That’s exactly why we built Insane Chains in the first place.
A Closer Look at the Builds
One of the standout builds is a custom Mafia FTG 29" in pink and teal.
The chain doesn’t shout. It connects everything. Wheels, frame, details. Once you see it, it just makes sense.
Then there’s the purple Mafia Medusa 26 with solid gold Insane Chains.
Simple. Bold. Confident.
These aren’t show bikes. They’re bikes meant to be ridden.
Baby Blue Has Landed at Bike Cave
Another reason this collaboration is exciting.
They didn’t leave them sitting in a jar. They snapped them straight onto a pink and baby blue Medusa build, showing exactly how they look on a real bike.
Seeing it in person makes it click instantly.
Built in the Shop, Not Just Online
One of the best parts of this whole thing is how hands on it is.
Chains coming straight out of dealer kits.
Staff snapping them on.
Stepping back.
Adjusting.
Making sure the bike feels right.

No mockups. No guesswork.
This is real customisation happening on the shop floor.
Why This Matters
Bike Cave NY offering custom Mafia Bikes is a big deal.
It gives riders the chance to walk into a shop and see a bike that already feels personal. Already feels finished. Already feels like theirs.
We’re genuinely grateful to Bike Cave for trusting Insane Chains on their builds, and excited to see Mafia Bikes getting the attention they deserve.
This is what happens when the right people work together.

Yes. Insane Chains snap onto 1/2” x 1/8” single-speed chains, which are commonly used on Mafia BMX models like the Medusa, Bomma, FTG, and La Plaga.
Do Insane Chains affect how the bike rides?
