#flaanimal

Repost from @rodeolabs - Did we just post this one? Of course not. It’s all in the details. ENVE, Di2, Garbaruk, Ingrid. This build resulted in some mild perspiration and elevated pulses around The Lab. #flaanimal #rodeospork #rodeowheels #newbikeday #gravelbike #hizokucycles Hizokucycles.com https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc4mnpcOvOO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Desert camo? Sure thing, and with a side of frosting. This is the first build we’ve done with this 2019 colorway and we’re over the moon with how it came out. We went Classic with this one, Ritchet Classic that is. Polished @rideshimano 105 sets it all off nicely. @whiteind pink hubs are icing on the build. Come see in person at booth S14 at Sea Otter! #flaanimal #rideexplorecreate https://www.instagram.com/rodeolabs/p/BwKI3-iF5Ar/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sljpoo11uizg

Chocolate Creamsicle. Aka Orange. Aka the most rare 4.0 / 4.1 color. Only the Pine Cone color will stick around when the next batch of Flaanimals land in March. 2 new colors will join the lineup as well... #flaanimal https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUGTz9FZn6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y3yi7fnlher4

The question wasn’t “why should we build the Flaaaaaaaaaanimal” it was “why shouldn’t we?” We took an @xtracycle Leap cargo extension and sent it to @_epiccustoms_ for matching Celeste paint. We raided the parts bin for a Box 1x drivetrain, @pnwcomponents dropper, Force 1 crank, Shimano brakes, Brooks saddle. Carbon 650b wheels. Terravail 47mm slicks, and whatever else looked fun. Does it pop wheelies well? No. Does it get up and go? No really? Does it turn? Only if you force it to. Do we regret anything? Never. #flaanimalweek #flaanimal (at SloHi Coffee + Bike) https://www.instagram.com/rodeolabs/p/BuY9Wa8Fx9h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lq9dpaenrmjy

If you work up a bike build with us chances are Soren is who you will collaborate with to determine how to spec yours. But how would Soren spec Soren’s Flaanimal? Well, here’s the answer as shown on Soren’s #flaanimal. Soren went with the impossible to beat performance of a Di2 1x drivetrain. Dura Ace 9170 levers and brakes. XT Di2 derailleur. Soren used a Hollowgram crankset he had mated to a Wolf Tooth 1x chainring and a Wheels Mfg T47 BB . Easton AX flared bars are also a favorite thing around here. Rodeo carbon rims keep the spinning bits light and strong. Resolute 700 x 42 tires are hard to beat on real trails with real muck. Wait... muck? Yes, Soren works remotely from Oregon where things are a bit wetter than at home base in Colorado. Having come from a high end custom build background working for brands like Serotta we can definitely say Soren has the depth of knowledge and attention to detail required to help make every build a great fit for its owner. It takes a small village of dedicated people to build every Rodeo. (at Eugene, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqteC7zlEu0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uf7h4j95nfqe
