This custom Cerakote Northern Lights TD4 has graphics and hardware accented in a matching baby blue for a beautiful net effect. It’s off to @4jtmo who’s been Rodeo about as long as Rodeo has been Rodeo. It’s always amazing when someone from our rider community decides they want to be a part of the Rodeo bike community. We’d say that JT picked the right time to adopt a bike from us, as the TD4 is the most versatile and capable frameset we’ve yet released.
Happy New Bike Day, JT!

You bring us the vision, we’ll bring it to life. Blaise asked for rivers and mountains flowing across his frame in tribute to his Virginia home, and we made it happen. First we mocked the concept up digitally. (See earlier post). Next we handed the bare carbon frame to @fitzfarm who painted hundreds of flowing and intersecting gold lines across the frame and fork by hand. A topcoat of crystal clear Cerakote brought the luster back to the bare carbon, letting the elements shine through.
We didn’t stop there. Blaise requested a @blackinc integrated bar / stem, which is only compatible with Factor frames. We designed and 3D printed an adapter spacer to merge the system with the TD4 frame seamlessly.
It’s such a pleasure having to hustle to bring great ideas to life, and to help people express their creativity through their bike.
Happy New Bike Day, Blaise!

We love two things around here: Fades and refurbs. Our lead engineer Cade took this TD2 that has already been through a couple of repaints, sanded it back down, repaired some carbon damage, buffed it all up, and re-coated it with a beautiful two color fade and knock out carbon logos. Instead of being decommissioned, this Donkey has many more adventures left in it. It’s a beautiful thing to see.

This is a setup worth highlighting: A very non-racey-looking TD4, built and outfitted as a beast of transport burden. We love this one so much. When we were designing TD4 we wanted it to read as a race bike, for people who want to race, but we wanted to elegantly build in heaps of features and details for people who were racing nowhere at all, and instead building their Donkeys around personal experiences and challenges instead. David has this one loaded up for a 180 mile, three day adventure in the Leelanau Peninsula of Northern Michigan. We’ve got to say, a ride like that sounds really nice right now!

@cyclist_lawyer does amazing work advocating for cyclists, and they deserve an amazing bike as well. The details are just-so on this one: Ultegra Di2, 2x, hydro couplers for travel or even (gasp) a quick flat bar conversion? The gold and blue with topo lines over gloss carbon custom layout pops in that “yeah that was meant to be” sort of way.
Happy New Bike Day, Andrew!

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.
