Work hard. Study. Get good grades. Don’t do drubs. Then throw it all away and go race gravel.
Happy New Bike Day, Cameron. This is one of the finest to leave our stable, and it’s going to rip out there! 🏁

@fortstreetcycle said it best “Flaanimal 5.0 launched in 2019 and was so ahead of its time that others are still catching up”. That’s the result of designing a frameset with input from the riders and riding, not from trends. That’s the result of asking “how much function can we wring out of a steel frameset?”. We don’t have a special sauce - anyone who asks these questions can go out and find great bike design inspiration for free, out on the road and trail.
Flaanimal 5.0 is: Kawasaki Japanese custom heat treated steel. EVERY tube on the frame is double butted, not just the main triangle.
5.0 is laser cut, carbon sleeved head tube, and carbon seat tube not just for show, but to offset the weight of the CNC machined chainstay yoke, which allows for generous tire clearance.
5.0 was one of the first frames on the market to take up the threaded T47 bb standard, which is now mainstream because of its functional benefits.
5.0 is modular routing for 2x, 1x, singlespeed, fixie, mechanical, or electronic shifting.
5.0 is UDH compatible
5.0 is open standards, and nothing proprietary
5.0 is proven the world over, including with a win at the 2021 Tour Divide under Jay Petervary.
5.0 is not a new design, it’s merely a great frameset, capable of being built up every which way, and taking you where it is you want to go.
Happy #newbikeday, Brian! This 61cm 5.0 Suoer Seven was a joy to customize for you.

Some we build, some leave as framesets, and we wait, hoping to catch a glimpse of the completed steed. Happy new bike day @monstro44 - enjoy the ride!
#flaanimal
Some call it a module. Some call it a chassis. We call it “Justin asked if he could send in his parts and have us do most of the build, and of course we said yes, because we’re here to help”.
Details: TD4.2 52cm. Single color custom Cerakote / Porsche Ruby Star tribute. Full tailored @ridewrap installed. Sram Red E1 / ENVE En Route.
Wheels, derailleur, bar tap, chain, and this should be ready to rip around Florida and beyond.
Happy New Bike Day, Justin!

It’s been a thing recently that Rodeo owners are coming back and asking us for wheel upgrades to their existing bikes. Ted had a set of King R45D hubs that he wanted to upgrade with our 3.0X rims, and we happily obliged. They’re built by hand with care by Pancho here at The Lab, and we expect they’ll continue the track record of excellence and real world performance that every Rodeo wheelset bears.
And yes, it still remains true that ZERO 3.0X wheels have been broken since their release over two years ago, and we even have a set laced up to MTB hubs for mountain bike abuse under our lead engineer Cade.
Technologic!

Spring is heating up and we’re shipping bikes and framesets at a brisk clip! This 6.0Ti in the Launch Edition colorway combines the bold white digital shapes with blue translucent clear over titanium for a fresh twist on traditional titanium frame liveries. Keep an eye out for this one in Japan, if you happen to be passing through.
Happy New Bike Day, Fujimura!

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.
