Flaanimal 5.0 // GRX 12s // 54cm // Blue Team

It is a subtle but constant truth in the bike industry that Sram’s color is red, and Shimano’s color is blue. With that in mind, we set about building a Flaanimal 5.0 that serves as an homage to the Shimano side of the force: The Blue Team. From the subtle blue Shimano inspired Rodeo logo on the downtube, to the blue accents and fork, this one-off build is a tasteful homage to Shimano’s tasteful and time honored aesthetics.

The build continues that theme with the capable and reliable GRX 1×12 drivetrain. But this build isn’t all restraint, this bike is ready to party with a left lever actuated KS dropper post, lightweight carbon Praxis cranks, Rodeo 2.0 carbon wheels, and a premium cockpit from Easton and Ritchey. Even the tires themselves are premium and much loved Rene Herse Oracle Ridge 700x48mm rubber, which are in keeping with the modern movement towards larger, fast rolling and supple gravel tires.

A 54cm Flaanimal best fits riders 5’8″ to 5’`10″.

All ready to roll Rodeo bikes are offered at beneficial pricing because we pick the parts, colors, and final build spec.
