Retro futurism over a blue to black fade over a fully custom butted titanium tube set, combined with a brutalist dropped chainstay yoke and a side of “ugh”. Flaanimal 5 Ti still goes hard! Happy new Ti day, David!

When Justin adopted his Flaanimal 5 steel, he asked for custom paint and a design that we had never attempted. In the front end of the frame the two colore Cerakote fade references a palette of green and tan found on a 1 of 1 Oak Green Metallic Porsche 911 Sport Classic. For the rear of the bike, Justin wanted to bring in the silver of the polished wheels, and here is where things got interesting: we had never stripped and brushed a steel Flaanimal before. It could be argued that the Ti frame would have been a better base for this motif, but Justin wanted steel, and we would have also lost out on the beautiful aesthetics of the woven carbon seat tube and heat tubes that are used on the steel frame.
We’re always up for a challenge, so our in house paint team did some test work on a damaged frame before dialing in the process and bringing Justin’s vision to life. Raw steel oxidizes instantly in the elements, so the brushed rear triangle was coated in @cerakote Armor Clear, which is formulated to bond with raw metal, something not possible with traditional clearcoats.
The end result is, per usual, totally unique, and a 1 of 1 just like the 911. We at Rodeo are always grateful for the chance to keep pushing our craft and trying new things with our frames and builds.

It’s a new year but we’re not done with 2024 yet. On the latest episode of The Rodeo Podcast, Our host @ljoneswilkins gathered @cade_reichenberger , @vankrampen , and @stevetheintern from Rodeo HQ to talk about our collective favorite bike gear that we used last year.
For this episode we separated gear into four categories:
- Accessories
- Wearables
- Tires
- Wildcard
Lively discussion ensued, and this turned into the longest pod we’ve yet recorded. So, buckle up and get ready to nerd out.

Dazzle camo / dazzling camo. @iridebikes_tomeetdoggos asked us to Cerakote his rims to match his already customized Flaanimal 5, and who were we to say no? Some camo makes you invisible, some makes you unmistakable.
👀 his 100mm 650b specific Fox fork mated to 2.4” tires as well. We have neva evah, eva evah met anyone who parties harder on their FL5 than Adam does.

OUR VALUES
RIDE
Our bikes as hard as we can. Never lose touch with the fact that true inspiration for everything we do comes from time spent in the saddle.
EXPLORE
If we stay where things are familiar we will quickly grow stale. To stay challenged we always seek out the new. New paces to ride, new goals to attempt, and new people to collaborate with.
CREATE
When we return home from our adventures we take our experiences and turn them into things that we can share. Stories, photos, videos, and inspired products are the fruit of our labor.
