Luxe Wheelworks by Gruppo Spinelli, is a custom bicycle wheel studio founded and operated by former professional cyclist and master wheel builder Justin Spinelli. Each Luxe wheelset is made to order — tailored to the terrain, riding style, and aesthetic preferences of the client.

About

With decades of experience across the cycling world—from the European pro peloton to the service course of WorldTour teams—Justin Spinelli brings a level of technical knowledge and intuition few can match. Unlike most professional racers, Justin began his cycling journey as a mechanic, honing a deep mechanical fluency long before his racing career took off. That early hands-on experience became a defining advantage, giving him a rare perspective on bike dynamics and equipment performance.

After securing spots on the U.S. National Team and professionally with Saeco on wheelsets he built himself, Justin returned to the workshop, where his time in the pro peloton further informed a meticulous, rider-first approach to wheel building. He has since served as a technical consultant and mechanic for national programs, elite racers, and discerning enthusiasts. His resume includes mechanical roles at global events and leadership in product development and athlete support

Process

Every Luxe wheelset begins with a conversation. Once the necessary details are collected, Justin applies his expertise to engineer and deliver a custom wheelset.

How It Works

Conversation & Intake
The process begins with an initial exchange and a rider survey. This captures key information—how and where the client rides, relevant physical factors, and any aesthetic considerations.

Builder’s Approach
Using the submitted information, Justin engineers the optimal build, balancing performance, durability, and fit. A detailed proposal is then provided to the client for review.

Initial Payment
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to proceed. This secures the client’s place in the build queue and initiates the wheel building process. Current lead times are 2-4 weeks.

Build & Delivery
Each wheelset is hand-built with precision. Upon completion, the remaining balance is invoiced prior to delivery or pickup.
