This looked absolutely amazing. Perfect example of rad folks coming together to make rad things happen! Really wish I was able to travel out to Portland for this event. Glad that I can live vicariously through Erik Kellar’s killer shots, photo-documenting the event! He did and amazing job all around. Captured some friendly faces that I need to see soon.
Go check out other things from PDX Invitational and Erik’s other photographical greatness. Cheers and Happy Friday!!

We 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 CREATE

Such a great video to wake up to. Makes me miss Portland even more. If you live in the area I hope you feel blessed everyday you get to ride x live in this city! Happy Friday!
I couldn’t wait any longer! Here’s a sneak peek of our collaboration with Cycles J. Bryant (Joshua Bryant) in all of its raw unbuilt beauty! This one (my personal ride that will be featured this weekend at the Detroit Bike City Expo) is the 700 x 45c version called “FaTRoB Steve” with the FOLLY x Bryant custom Venom’esk flat black paint and white hand drawn decals! I can’t wait to build up this handbuilt Get Rad Machine!! There are two other models we will offer in the limited FOLLY x Bryant colorway called FaTRoB Dixie and L’iL FaTRoB, make sure to check those out.
After Joshua displays the Get Rad Machine in all of its glory it will be shipped, build, and ridden all over the land!! Also… as I’m sure you could imagine, I will do an indepth breakdown after I get my hands on it. Check out the vibe of the FaTRoB in Joshua’s own words
