The FOLLY x BRYANT FatRob

photo 4We are very proud to release the FOLLY x BRYANT edition FatRob for your preorder pleasure.

There are three different models for you to choose from, FatRob Steve, FatRob Dixie, and L’iL FatRob. They range from a 700c, 650b, and 26″ wheel base to fit the kind of riding your going to do on this #GETRADMACHINE! I personally went with the FatRob Steve and am in the process of hooking up my 700c thrashing machine! So many great memories will be made on this one of kind hand-made/American made bicicleta! That… and Co-Founder/best bud Kyle Steed designed the logo…. NAILING IT!!

You remember that feeling you had as a kid when you swung a leg over your bike and blasted off towards your friend’s house linking cul-de-sacs and unfenced yards and dirt trails to get there?  Or how you felt that first day you rode 10, 20, 50 or 100 miles?  I wanted to design a road bike that reunited me with those feelings of freedom and exploration starting from the ground up.  I came to the drawing board (literally) with no preconceived notions on what this type of bike should look like, but I thought about how I want the bike to respond to the riding that I grew up doing and find myself gravitating towards again.  Kind of like if you took a CX bike, Randonneur, and go-fast Road bike and ran them over with a steam roller.  Take that hunk of iron and produce one bike that could do it all.  An adventure bike without equal.  A Fat Tired Road Bike, or FaTRoB as I like to call it.  All the necessary features and nothing you don’t.  A feeling of youth you could grab in bike form for just $1950 frame and fork.” – Joshua Bryant (Cycles J Bryant)

Definitely make sure to head over to Cycles J Bryant and check out the back story on each FatRob model. If the stories don’t make you laugh just a little then this frame/fork combo might not be what you’re looking for. When we labeled it as a #GETRADMACHINE we meant just that! Ride everywhere with the serious and light hearted alike in the terrain of their choosing, if need be, but never neglecting that dark and mysterious dirt road no one else is willing to conquer!

Go check out more info at our shop. The preorder is limited to 15 frame and forks and will last until the end of August with a delivery date of late Fall. Feel free to email ( createfolly@gmail.com ) with any questions you may have. Thank you for your support!

Cheers! RIDE x CREATEphoto 1

Civilware // Cutter Utility Knife

CW CutterCivilware just released their Cutter Utility Knife on July 4th. This is a smaller option from their Striker knife to be used for daily carry and accomplish everything a solid utility knife offers throughout your day of cutting, prying, chiseling, wedging needs.

“Our exclusively designed knives are made from files because a file is an excellent source of high carbon tool steel. Through a process called annealing,  the brittleness normally found in a file is removed. The knives are then hand ground to shape. – the result is a beautifully made knife that will both hold an edge and sharpen easily.

Our knives are so sharp and hold an edge so well, they will be a favorite among guides and outfitters, hunters, backpackers, and fishermen. They are also widely used as a utility knife by the “workingman”. Our cutter knives are handmade in Southern California and each one is unique.” – Civilware

I hope you dig as much as I do. Go to Civilware and nab this up.

Argonaut Cycles x Strawfoot // Tool Roll

Argo x Straw

Photo by someone rad… not me

Argonaut collaborated with Garrett Kautz of Strawfoot Handmade to make a simple, durable, elegant tool pouch. Made of domestically produced wax cotton, leather strap, and nickel plated buckle, these tool rolls are designed to carry all you need to fix your bike on the road. This tool roll can be carried in your jersey pocket or strapped to the rails of your saddle, it will keep a spare tube, multitool, C02, and some cash or cards dry and secure.” – Argonaut Cycles

This combo is pretty great! Go to Argonaut’s web shop and pick’em up while they last. I believe there are only 50’ish made. Jah blessed!

Wraith Fabrication

imageBAM!!! Adam Eldridge has yet again knocked it out of the park.

“Woah! It’s been five years of building full custom frames at Stanridge for good friends all over the world. The Stanridge philosophy recalls a bygone era of manufacturing, before dollars and the bottom line ruled every decision. Wraith will be no different.

We all dream. My dream has been to introduce another line of handmade frames, offer a custom fin, and spread my enthusiasm of the ride to folks that haven’t been able to throw a leg over a Stanridge.

We want to have fun. Shred. It doesn’t matter what kind of bike you’re on. It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing. Our machines are made here in the USA by hand. We’re celebrating the brotherhood. It’s about the ride. It’s about getting more folks on a crazy nice frame. We want to see where you ride. We want to hear about your adventures. It’s an honest, sincere desire to fit folks on the best bikes possible. No over design, just simple items made from the best materials available”. – Adam Eldridge – Owner of Wraith Fabrications

WraithMake sure to head over to Wraith Fabrication and pre-order “The Hustle” before pre-orders are all gone. There are only 6 left!!

If I wasn’t already building up two other bikes this sucker would be mine in a heartbeat! Cheers Adam!! Really pumped to see this happen.
