Let’s review the math: Spork + Surly = Spurly. The math proves it, and we hereby cite @jaredsluyter as a source.

Integrated routing: Wherein all the brake cables and shift lines are hidden inside of your frame. It’s here now, and we’re all going to see it more and more. It’s sexy, it’s “fast”, but is it good? More importantly, is it right for you and the way you ride? We’ve started getting this question a lot with the advent of TD4, so instead of answering it hundreds of times over and over we wrote one mega nerdy Journal entry about it so you can get educated and decide for yourself. Link in bio or check it at rodeo-labs.com/integration
Whatever you decide is right for you, it’s our commitment here at Rodeo to make our bikes adaptable to as many standards as possible. Integrated, Semi-Integrated, Non Integrated Internal, or even External routing. The choice is yours with TD4.

It’s been a minute since we’ve posted a proper tractor build. This one checks all the boxes: Plush tires, dropper, 2x, Northern Lights Cerakote. Let the good times roll over stuff!.

Happy #newbikeday Colleen!

With the launch of TD4 we saw a lot of comments about “dang, time to upgrade my current bike”. But here’s the thing, you almost certainly don’t need to upgrade your current bike. For most avid cyclists out there, the current bike is already rad and more than capable. But we get it, new things are fun. We also totally acknowledge that if nobody bought new bikes we’d be out of business soon. So how does a company launch a new thing without projecting artificial fomo and consumerism into the world? That’s a tough balance, one that we won’t always get right, but we want to try. In the last few weeks we’ve had a number of conversations directly with Rodeo owners reassuring them that their current bike is still rad, and to keep riding it. We try to advise people what the key revisions were to TD4 and how they may or may NOT make their bike life better based on how they ride their bike. Here’s another thing we can do: celebrate older Rodeo bikes that are still rad. Exhibit A: Garth’s TD 2.1. Garth first adopted his bike new four years ago, in 2018. He’s been happily riding it ever since. It was originally Naked / Black, but last month he brought it back to Rodeo HQ for a new coat of color. We disassembled his bike and gave it a nice new Storm Trooper White Cerakote finish and refreshed any worn components along the way. Freshly rebuilt and ready to ride the bike is downright resplendent. There are so few white Rodeo bikes out there, and each one is a thing of beauty. Garth’s TRP / Di2 drivetrain is still shifting perfectly and reliably, which is one of the things Di2 does best. Garth doesn’t need a new bike. His 2.1 is awesome, and it was a pleasure to have it back in the shop for the refresh. We know this bike is going to continue being a platform for exploration and adventure long into the future. TD 1, 2, 3, or 4. A Donkey of any age is always a Donkey. 🤍
