Gravel Two Ways: Two Different Bikes Built For OSBR
Most people like to get in a few shake down rides on their brand new bikes before diving into a big event ride. We'd never argue that conventional wisdom, but sometimes the timing just doesn't work out. Just ahead of our Officially Serious Bicycle Ride, we finished off two builds, both...

OSBR 2: The Aftermath
A burly 55 mile mixed terrain route, navigating rugged dirt roads covered in rocks and mud pits, scaling pitches nearing 20%, and averaging over 1k ft of climbing per 10 miles, all right in the middle of January with a very high chance of rain? It sounds like a pretty ridiculous thing...

It's Christmas Day and we've at last made it to the end of our Twelve Days series. Here on our finale, we take a look at one of our first builds of 2019, a bike that truly set the bar for the rest of the year. A Swiss inspired gravel...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds—Day 11: A Dogma Like No Other
It's Christmas Eve and we've made it to day eleven. For our penultimate feature in our Twelve Days series, we share what was hands down the sweetest Dogma F10 we've ever build. Once again, this Dogma received magical paint treatment from our friends at Velocolur. An intriguing mix of geometric clocks...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds—Day 10: A Single Speed Sarto
As we reach day 10, we look at another one of the more unique builds this year. A custom Sarto Dinamica, with a sporty paint job and a stripped back drive train. While 1x builds are common place these days, it's not too often we get a request for a fully...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds—Day 9: Chad's Prova Speciale
There's no way we could keep this bike off the list! As we move a long to day nine, we share this phenomenal Prova Speciale. Simple and elegant on the eyes, but make no mistake—this is one of the most technologically advanced bikes we've built. Hand built in Australia, with...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds—Day 8: A Blacked Out Bolide
On the eighth day of Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds, we go sheer speed with a blacked out Pinarello Bolide. Regardless of your feelings on aero bars, this bike is undeniably bad ass. Sram AXS, 1x12 drive train, and deep Enve wheels—this bike is pure business. We built this one...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds—Day 7: An Enve and EPS Sarto Seta Plus
From a colorful, titanium, rim brake bike, we move along to a grey-scale carbon disc brake bike. Equally custom, equally Campagnolo, equally rad—all just in a very different way. We built this Sarto Seta Plus specially for the Enve Builders Summit show earlier this year. The theme on this bike...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Build—Day 6: An Extra Custom Baum Corretto
We've done a number of spectacular, one of a kind, Baum builds in our time, though this might be the most unique one yet. While we've long loved Buam's standard paint schemes, when someone wants something even more unique, we're not going to get in their way. This Baum Corretto made...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Build—Day 5: A Faded Mosaic GT-1
Keeping the gravel stoke alive, on day 5 we're going titanium. This one was one of our own, Derek's personal Mosaic GT-1, built for a season of racing the West Coast's top dirt grinders. With ode to classic MTBs of the 90s, the zesty purple to teal fade has been...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds—Day 4: A California Sunset Open U.P.
In light of our OSBR registration opening today, it's only fitting we share one of our favorite gravel builds of the year. A custom Open U.P. inspired by the sun setting over the California coast. Masterful paint work again by our friends at Velocolour, a Sram AXS 2x drive train, and...
