It’s DealTime™️ time!

We took a four month break from offering any Ready To Roll builds, and the last sold months ago.

This Flaanimal 6 Titanium build is one heck of a way to make a comeback!

Let’s start with the frame. We created this one-off design as a display frame for Sea Otter in April, where it turned heads. The custom gold anodized logos pop brightly against the one-off hand painted ocean blue Cerakote, all against a backdrop of both brushed and media blasted titanium. The Flaanimal 6 Ti is our newest Rodeo Labs frameset, and is set apart from the competition thanks to its beautiful tube shaping, 3d printed and seamlessly blended details, sculpted headtube, oversized T47 Keg bottom bracket, phenomenal tire clearance, and of course the incredibly versatile LockJaw 2 sliding dropout system.

The frame is elegant enough for high speed gravel racing duties, but also capable enough to be loaded up and ridden from Banff to New Mexico.

We have never before offered a 6.0 Ti as a Ready To Roll bike, but this frame’s unique purpose allowed us a special opportunity.

This 54cm build will best fit a rider from 5’8” to 5’10”.

All Ready To Roll builds ship within a few days, and are offered well below their retail price because we pick the frame, we pick the paint, we pick the parts, and we only build them when the mood strikes.

In the latest entry on the Rodeo Journal, @twhaines shared his incredible 4000km journey by bike across Europe and to its very tip in the North Cape. The ride was a 20+ day meditation. It included beautiful unbroken countryside, headwinds, great company, sun, rain, and profound lessons learned by doing, and being.

Tom shares not just a recount of the ride, but the moments of passing and lasting enlightenment that North Cape left him with.

Some say that these are color photos of a black and white bike. Whatever the case, gloss white Cerakote over naked gloss carbon, combined with Sram Red AXS, Rodeo 3.0X wheels on Berd spokes, FSA K-Wing, and full integration make for a damn classy rig.

Happy #newbikeday Matt!

Let’s switch it up: Here’s to patina
Here’s to worn in, but not worn out
Here’s details sorted through constant use
Here’s to hacks, bobbles, and solves
Here’s to revisions
Here’s to refreshed
Here’s to what worked, and what needs to work better
Here’s to inanimate objects having stories
Here’s to the rider and their horse
Here’s to rust, to scuffs
Here’s to grease
Here’s maintenance

Here’s to many adventures had, and many more to come.

Here’s to Michaela
