Flaanimal 5.0 Titanium / 61cm / Root Beer Manifesto

Brad, who leads custom finishing at Rodeo, has been refining his titanium anodizing technique non-stop since joining Rodeo. For those in the know, titanium anodizing is a fickle beast, which a number of different factors which must be balanced and juggled nearly simultaneously in order to acheive good coverage, consistent color, intense color, and bright finishing. One of the more difficult skills to master is that of covering large areas of the frame consistently, which is why you more often see titanium anodizing applied on smaller graphics, not entire tubes.

For this Flaanimal 5.0 Titanium Ready To Roll build, Brad wanted to take a huge swing and attempt to cover nearly the entire frame with a beautiful bronze-gold finish, and while he was at it, he decided to make the entire design and build into an Root Beer inspired bike. The end result is a vividly and beautifully anodized 5.0 titanium frame unlike any other we’ve ever done. The overall aesthetic is classic, and was inspired by vintage road bikes with their color blocked and painted frame panels. Paired with the bronze titanium tube finishing are cream Cerakote accents and of course a custom Root Beer Spork, which we whipped up just for the occasion. 

The build spec is a thoughful mix of Sram Rival AXS, Ritchey handlebars and custom painted stem, Selle Repente saddle, Praxis carbon cranks, and Rene Herse tires. The custom finishing disn’t stop with the frame, the Rodeo 2.0 carbon hoops and Ritchey stem are also custom finished and matched to the aesthetic of the build.

Every Ready To Roll Rodeo Labs bike is offered at advantageous pricing because we design, paint, build, and spec the bike based on what inspires us here.

A 61cm Flaanimal 5.0 titanium will best fit a rider 6’2″ to 6’4″. with some wiggle room on the margins.
