Less is absolutely more. A crisp white canvas. A subtle blue fade. Our original multi colored logo.

Chef’s kiss.

This TD4.2 joins Jeremy’s singlespeed 4.0, which already resides in his quiver. Donkeys thrive when they have a companion. True story.

Happy New Bike Day @onegearjeremy !

Dreamt up in collaboration with @niwotwheelhouse , this TD4.2 leverages the shop’s colors and branding to create an eye catching platform on which, we hear, they’re going to build something sweet and sendy. If you stop in, tell them to hurry up because we’re dying to see the finished bike!

Mmmmm. Pueblo Orange. It’s a paint to order option on our frames, but at no additional cost. It’s an homage to natural and native colors of the Southwest. When we launched 4.2 the color wasn’t chosen often, but it’s hitting its stride these days, and we’re glad to see it! This build looks particularly classy with Force XPLOR E1, full FSA integration, and 3.0X wheels.

Happy New Bike Day, Michael!

Two facts: our customers keep pushing us to try new and creative things, and the team here just keeps raising their game to keep pace.

George requested that his Flaanimal 6Ti be painted in tribute to his Pine Cone Traildonkey 2.1, and we jumped at the chance to do that. Pine cone, in terms of modern acronyms, is the OG GOAT Rodeo paint scheme and we have to say, it laid down beautifully on the 6 Ti frame. (Hat tip to Brad!). The build is something new as well, we went with the well loved @fsa_road K-Force bar, SMR stem and ACR headset for that tidy integrated look. But wait, what groupset is this? George was curious about the Wheeltop GEX wireless groupset, and decided to yolo and try it out for his build. The cassette is an @garbaruk_components 10-44 12 speed, which is perfect for the Georgia terrain that this bike will roam through.

Rodeo 3.0X wheels. ✅. Repente saddle ✅ Praxis crank ✅

So, is the groupset any good? Cade reported some puddles while bleeding it, but once dialed in, the lever ergonomics are quite nice and the pad feel pretty darn confidence inspiring.

Here is George’s bike review:

“First ride impressions…
Good grief!!! I knew it was going to be good, but this thing is like butter and climbs like a Donkey, or better!

I re-arranged the right shifting buttons to mimic my road bike/Di2. And the left hand now shifts to a lower gear if I’ve got my phone out taking a pic or on a work call and need a bail out. Wish the buttons had a little more click to them… that’s an odd thing to be picky about but my brain is accustomed to a click with Di2. But the shape and feel of the hoods are on par.

Brakes are good but not as good as TRP. I’m in the drops more for a little more leverage on the brakes. But to be able to throw an 11 speed Donkey wheelset on is going to be 👍👍

Overall… I’m in love! It’s just so smooth but quick and light. Couldn’t be happier… thanks again. And I’ll keep updating you on the group set ”

Happy #newbikeday George, and thanks for being an ongoing part of the Rodeo fam.
