Do you see the dumbell shape on the inside of the FL 6 Ti BB shell? That has a very specific function. On this frame, it allows people who chose to run a dropper post to do so much more easily. The cutout allows the housing to pass from the downtube and into the seat tube without having to dip into the bottom bracket shell itself. This results in a cleaner install, with less friction in the line, for the smoothest dropper operation. Not many dropper post builds go out the doors these days, so this may be extra fuss for “nothing”, but every owner and rider of our bikes counts. If only five people ever appreciate this detail, it was worth doing. This same thinking goes into the details of the rest of the frameset whether you ever notice it or not.
Flaanimal Titanium is titanium, better.

Inspired by the 1971 • The Porsche 917/20 ‘Pink Pig’ racecar, The TD4 TrailPig Homage takes one of the most iconic race car liveries of all time, and applies it to another animal that you might find in a farm yard alongside a pink pig, a Donkey.
Our painter Brad created this expert rendition in bicycle form with hand-laid, masked, and painted graphics, with part and technical aspects of the frame rendered in the same typeface as the original car. Worried about the translation accuracy? You should be, we are too, but if we got anything wrong, just remember that bikes are supposed to be fun. As with actual race cars, the Pink Pig TD4 has it’s race numbers applied in vinyl, not paint, because race numbers can be changed. If you adopt this pig and would like custom numbers applied, just ask!
The build spec on this bike is proper racecar as well. We very rarely do AXS ready-to-roll builds, but on this one we knew that we needed to continue the theme with components that were high end and raceable, so Zipp and Ritchey WCS components were used for the cockpit and controls. A Repente Quasar hand made saddle is also suitably European and very comfortable when doing hot laps of LeMans, or just your local dirt roads. Rival AXS XPLR drivetrain bits give you the beauty of wireless shifting, and the closer gear ratios best suited for zipping down straightaways.
The wheel spec is our race ready, lightweight, and ultra durable Rodeo 3.0X wheelset, shod in piggly-fat but very fast Schwalbe G-One Speed tires – giving the bike extra compliance when run at lower pressures.
A 52cm TD4 will fit a rider between 5’3″ (160cm) and 5’6″ (167cm)
All Ready To Roll bikes are offered at beneficial pricing because we paint them and build them how we like, resulting in the most efficient builds possible.
Available to ship immediately.

A customer build isn’t just about custom paint. It’s listening to you while you tell us everything you want the bike to be, and then making that bike real. Ricky wanted a Naked TD4, one set up to crisscross Florida, and later take on Unbound, with a whole lot in between. We specced his build for that, and when he mentioned a penchant for orange, we sent the note to Chef Coco, who sprinkled the entire bike with just the right amount of orange zest, from bolts, to drivetrain, and even orange reflective decals. It’s rare that any two Rodeos ever look alike, and this one is no exception. Happy New Bike Day, Ricky!

What’s it like to ride the Divide, day by day, morning by morning, night by night? @edynteitge, the youngest solo finisher wrote up an immersive recounting and shared it with us via the Rodeo Journal. It gets us inspired to plot our own attempts down the road!

OUR VALUES
RIDE
Our bikes as hard as we can. Never lose touch with the fact that true inspiration for everything we do comes from time spent in the saddle.
EXPLORE
If we stay where things are familiar we will quickly grow stale. To stay challenged we always seek out the new. New paces to ride, new goals to attempt, and new people to collaborate with.
CREATE
When we return home from our adventures we take our experiences and turn them into things that we can share. Stories, photos, videos, and inspired products are the fruit of our labor.
