Sycip: Custom Gravel Travel, Titanium
“It’s a Titanium gravel frame with Z couplers on top and down tube designed to come apart so you can fit the complete bike into a non-oversized case for airline travel. It is built up with Sram AXS parts so no cables and of course full ENVE parts as well. The hydraulic brake lines are internal with quick disconnect hoses so when the frame comes apart, you can also split the brake lines for ease of packing. The bike is made to fit up to a 50c tire and has extra water bottle mounts.” – Sycip Bicycles
Sanitas: Node Gravel, Titanium
“We brought out the all-new Sanitas Node Custom Gravel. This frame features full 3/2.5 Aerospace titanium construction from tubing that is all milled here in the United States. Braze-ons, headtube, dropouts, and bottom bracket shell are all milled in California. We 100% design and fabricate the frame in-house; the shop is located in Durango, Co. The frame features a 44mm straight tapered headtube for many fork options and integrated cable routing upon request. The top tube is thin-walled and features a slight curve to allow for more vibration absorption. Seatube is reamed for 31.6 allowing for rigid seatposts but also dropper posts. We use T47 standard bottom bracket shells with a thicker wall to help increase lateral stiffness at the crankset. The chain stays are fully annealed 7/8ths material for more vibration absorption and endless customization of tire clearance and crankset combinations. The seat stays are thick-walled 1/2” tubing featuring a wrap-around construction while also being a bit dropped to keep the rear triangle laterally stiff for hard climbs and sprints. This frame is what we see as the final culmination of our 30+ years of combined frame-building experience.”
“The finish applied to the frame features custom anodization done through Agave Finishworks also located in Durango. From afar the gold, blues, and purples are eye-catching, but up close it really comes to life with details of mountains, clouds, and cacti using the negative space. Just like the finish applied on the frame, we build each and every bicycle one by one to the customer’s exact specifications and desires. Being a small-builder allows us to provide a unique and highly customizable shopping experience. The groupset features a mix of Sram Red AXS, Force AXS, White Industries cranks, a Kogel Ceramic bottom bracket, and their oversized cage. All being framed in the pinnacle of carbon works provided by ENVE Composites.” – Sanitas Cycles
Mosaic: RT-1d ITR, Titanium
“The legendary Mosaic RT-1d, re-imagined here along with Mosaic Partner Above Category Cycling of Sausalito, CA, and Mosaic sponsored rider Brennan Wertz. We’ve put together a one-of-a-kind RT-1 ITR for the ENVE Grodeo. A full display of Above Category’s ability to leave no detail to the imagination for an ultimate Mosaic drop bar bike. Race-ready road build spec, rider-specific geo and tube choice and an incredible knockout finish and a special addition of a Flip Color shapeshifting look.”
“Utilizing ENVE’s Integrated Road Fork and a new chainstay design, the RT-1 ITR has the same intuitive steering response, plenty of get-up-and-go out of the corners, the encouragement to rip up your favorite climb, and will give you the confidence to run a larger road tire with room to spare. As usual, this is all delivered by a particular blend & rider-specific selection of double-butted titanium tubing that is infinitely customizable depending on your fit requirements, ride preferences, and build configuration.” – Mosaic Cycles
Ritte: Occulto, Titanium
“Occulto means hidden or concealed. An obvious name given the hidden cabling – the bike is our take on what modern titanium road bikes can be. Blending classic metal bike lines with organic shaping and modern standards. The Occulto utilizes 3D printing to create a natural, hidden cabled front end with our tried and true road geometry. The re-introduction of an integrated seat mast hints back to some of Ritte’s earlier bikes and offers excellent comfort and low weight – the 3D printed topper allows customization of offsets and fit. Printed, fabricated, and assembled in the US from US-sourced materials.” – Ritte Cycles
