Mathias Scherer has been building titanium bikes under the Mawis name in Kleinblittersdorf, Germany for 11 years now. His work first came to my attention at the Bespoked handmade bicycle show, where he normally exhibits a small selection of the 35 or so bicycles that he produces each year.

Given that Bespoked 2020 did not happen, I thought it was a good time to catch up with Scherer and showcase a couple of his recent builds.
Whether it’s a bespoke titanium hardtail, fixed gear or road build, there are a couple of elements that every Mawis bike has in common. The first and most obvious is that it’ll be crafted from titanium, Scherer doesn’t work with any other material. Second, all Mawis Bikes are clean to look at, often with neat integration and details from an obsessive mind.
