We create a lot of very colorful bikes around here, and occasionally it’s nice to build one with very nearly no color at all. Black is timeless. Black never goes out of style.

In the spirit of that, we’re offering this “Midnight Black” Flaanimal 5.0 58cm as a Ready to Roll bike.

Built with the ultralight and beautiful 1×13 Ekar groupset, and combined with Rodeo 2.0 carbon wheels, this bike is extremely capable in gearing, tire clearance, durability, and utility. Flaanimal 5.0 has Tour Divide winning pedigree, something no other steel gravel bike can claim, and it’s versatile enough to take out on everything from road rides to cross country off road adventures.

The graphics on this bike are a stealth black gloss 3M reflective, so when headlights or flashlights hit this frame, they will pop to an electic white glow, increasing visibility when it matters.

All Ready To Roll Rodeo bikes are offered at special pricing because we build and configure them the way we like.

A 58cm Flaanimal will best fit a rider between 6’0″ and 6’2″, perhaps slightly taller or shorter with stem length adjustments.

Our Explorts Fleece Cargo Tights beta is now open.

After six years of developing world class bib shorts, we finally decided to create a full length winter version for those who ride through the cold months. As always, we’ve baked these from scratch, with the passion for function that comes from being cold weather cyclists ourselves.

This first beta batch in men’s cut is quite small, so act fast if you want to snag a pair for immediate shipping. Backorders are allowed and will arrive late January.

Women riders, we would like to gather a wider cross section of fit data. The women’s tights are based on the women’s specific Explorts bib shorts with women’s specific chamois, but getting full leg lengths correct is an art and science. As such, we’ve opened up women’s beta pre order order also for arrival in late January, and we’ve set the price for women beta participants at 50% off retail. Thanks in advance for helping us make these great!

The much loved Lamb Transport Jersey is back, and on this fifth iteration of our midweight Merino blend jersey, we went to the stars. Ad Astra!

Inspired by vintage Apollo Program space suits and of course, the legendary Italian lamb transporting donkeys famed across the world, this is the least expected Lamb Transport mashup we’ve yet created, yet somehow it’s already one of our favorites with its crisp, white palette, NASA inspired Rodeo worm logo, and small details that nod to Rodeo culture over the years.

The original space suits featured American flags on the shoulders, but on this jersey we created two 4 x 3 Velcro patch areas so that you can represent any fledging space program of your choice, or you can also go anywhere else in the galaxy that you want for inspo.

The Ad Astra Jersey is 70/30 Italian milled Merino / Synthetic blend that combines warmth and fit easily. Just like last year we went with club cut, so if you like it looser fit, shop your size, or if you like a more classic cycling fit like the photos, size down one size. Size chart on website.

Cap and Jersey are shipping now and we will try to get them to you for the holidays! This production run just dropped out of orbit. Limited stock. Back orders available if you miss your size.

Look. Instagram wants us all to make reels, but we started with photography, and we still love still photo galleries. So, with that in mind, a double post, in honor of ignoring the algo and doing what we want. Enjoy your beautiful steed @bickelco !
