Gravel bike for Two! A Co-motion KALAPUYA headed to that we ordered and built up for Mark & Lisa.

They are tandem vets and wanted to build up something a little lighter and faster than their trusty Java. So that’s what we did. The KALAPUYA is aluminum with a carbon fork. We added Reserve 30SL wheels to the mix, some 45c Pirelli tires, carbon cranks with a Gates belt drive and some other choice bits to achieve the goal. Moving to an AXS drivetrain will also be a huge upgrade for them as the Java was a mechanical triple.

The part that was the most fun was picking the paint and accents. Pewter frame with Ferrari Red accents pair perfectly with the Red Chris King headset, King BBs and Wolf Tooth chainring bolts.

Thanks so to Mark & Lisa for letting us build them a race rocket and good luck to the both of them at SBT GRVL!

FELT NEXAR FRD

Frame up build of the new FRD frame ends up being one light and mean aero bike. This 58 frame ended up at 16.4lbs built with a mix of SRAM parts and a set of 404 Firecrests. Light, stiff and the signature checker layup make this bike a real eye catcher! But really it’s the geometry of the bike that stands out most. Tall head tube for comfortable and progressive position. Seat tube angle that allows you to drive power through the pedals and a short reach to pair with a long stem (and new longer levers)

Check out our assortment of the new FELT lineup in the shop and let’s talk about what to build you up for the season!

Alejandro’s Terra MyO Frame Build ⛽️

Subtle but loud this Matte Black Terra is a bad unit! SRAM Rival XPLR with a Force PM and Wolf Tooth aero ring drive the bike. 2.1” Thunderburts up the capability while keeping the rolling resistance down. Zipp SL70 carbon bars finish out the cockpit for a no nonsense performance based build.

Black Carbon View was selected as the primary color and then Titanium logos were picked as the accent. A titanium fork detail disappears in the paint until the sun hits it and keeps it interesting. Finally just like his Orca Aero, his kids initials are painted in the stays so they are always with him on the ride.

Thanks to Alejandro for letting us build you another 🔥 rig! 🫡

A new breakfast leader has entered the pack...

Meet the Belgian Breakaway 🧇 🍳

Built with chicken sausage from The Good Butcher, melty white cheddar, maple habanero mustard (with Great River Maple syrup), stacked between two waffle buns for a little sweet, a little heat, and plenty to keep you coming back for another lap.

The New FELT Breed.

We were pumped up for this one to hit the floor and now it’s here. The new Breed continues to build on the previous model with similar clearance but much more race focused optimizations. Better looks, less mounts, one piece cockpit and considerably less weight. All positives if you ask us!

With top specs leading the industry in light weight builds (sub 17lbs) this one gets you almost all the way there with the more compliant frame and SRAM Rival build spec. Still room for over 52c tires and a race winning geo it’s a great option for those looking for a fast setup with all the requirements of a multi use gravel racing bike.

Come check out the new Breed in the shop and let’s get one coming for you!

Terra!!

I wanted to build a big tire bike to see what all the hype was about, and with my “big” gravel race this year being .bike I wanted something to shred some single track with as well.

I landed on a Terra because of the incredible MyO program and the frames capabilities. No cost I picked Mint as my main frame color and accents in Metallic Chic White with some Lavender logos and fork details.

I am kind of a weight we**ie and love trying new stuff so I grabbed a set of BERD wheels to see what they are about. Light is understatement. This set of gravel wheels tipping the scales at
