Whole Lotta Rosie

IndyFab — Wed, 18 Feb 2015 01:29:43 +0000

The best part of working at Indy Fab is being afforded the opportunity to design, build and ride your own bicycle. Living the dream!

The steel Deluxe 29er plus is built around the Paragon Machine Works chainstay yoke, which allows a builder enough clearance for 3 inch tires and the chain ring, while still using a standard 68mm width bottom bracket.

Rounding out the build is a Sram X01 group. A huge shout out to Jimbo at Stansnotubes for the Hugo rims, and Blake at Trek for all the Bontrager components: fork, stem, bars, seatpost, saddle and Chucacabra tires.

Drenched in PPG’s Liquid Crystal Candy Apple Red , because everyone knows that red bikes ride fastest!

“Rosie” in her natural environment, riding and handling just as good as she looks!

Pink Ice – as named by this steel Club Racer’s new owner – has a striking mix of matte and gloss clear coats. Three long pink shapes inside the main triangle are gloss, while everything else including the down tube logo has a matte finish. This frameset was built for long road and gravel rides and it features canti brakes, fender mounts, rack mounts for future camera carry, and a kickstand plate to stop and enjoy the view on multi-day bike tours.
