“Those local to the Front Range of Colorado may be familiar with the name “Sanitas”. It is a local hotspot of the athletes located in Boulder, Colorado. This mountain has two ways up to the top. One path is a slow gradual grade up over a few miles comprised of small cobbles and pea-gravel. The other path is full large rocky steps with steep and stout grade to the top. We feel that this is symbolic to the cycling industry. We have no opinions or preference on how you get to the top as long as you get there. That is what we are here for, to provide a unique experience and create special moments on the way to the top of the mountain, whatever that may be for you.” – https://sanitasbikes.com
“Sanitas is currently headquartered in Durango, Colorado and this analogy is only amplified in this land of the extremes, nestled in the rugged San Juan mountains.”
“Our current team has a combined 60 plus years of the cycling industry and 30 years of building custom bikes. One of the Co-Founders, John Siegrist, founded DEAN Titanium Bikes back in the ‘80s. He has single handedly witnessed the ebb and flow of the cycling industry through his time designing and building custom bikes for Merlin Metal Works, Ibis Bicycles, EverTi, Form, Haley, Ionic, Sampson, Jade, Stoemper, Red Tail and Vynl to name a few.”
