Argonaut Cycles is proud to re-introduce its Supernaut flagship model, originally launched in 2023 as a limited edition. The Supernaut line includes the GR3 and RM3 models. Read on for more information on these made in the USA, high end super bikes and for the launch of Argonaut’s new D33 wheels…
Crust Bikes‘ latest model, the EPO ($2100 frameset), is a US-Made road frame, built from Italian steel. Or perhaps its 38 mm max tire clearance makes it an All-Road bike, right? Who knows anymore? Anyway, the EPO is built by Darren Larkin in Connecticut in very small batches.
It’s made up of an assortment of the finest Columbus steel available. The Italian tubes provide a ride quality that will have you wanting to push this bike like you’ve been juiced up and are breaking away in the ’99 Tour de France. Each frame comes paired up with an ENVE AR Disc Fork to match the frame’s tire clearance and keep the front end light and nimble.
If you’re an AXS devotee, the EPO is available with or without shifter housing guides. Check out more at Crust Bikes.
The Roadini is Rivendell‘s all-around, all-weather road bike. It gives up nothing when compared to modern, high-tech, carbon bikes on smooth, ideal roads and is far better in every way when conditions are crappy. Potholes? Chipseal? Hardpack gravel? The Roadini is built for it. It has way more tire clearance, higher quality overall construction, is more comfortable, and rides like a Rivendell. This new version is fully lugged, including a stunning asymmetrical (front to rear) fork crown, and comes in either Lime Olive (pictured) or Hi Ho Silver. Built it with a demi porteur bar, a road drop, or whatever. The Lugged Roadini pre-sale ($1,750) begins at 12 noon PST today at Rivendell.

Following his visit with Crust Bikes, Nic Morales‘s road trip across the southeast continues with a trip to Velo Orange in Baltimore, MD.

Through an extensive tour of their headquarters and an interview with co-founder Igor Shteynbuk, Nic learned of the logistics and mindset taken up by those behind the “VO” adorning many of our builds… Check it out below!

Rob Roberson has had a storied career as a bicycle builder for over fifty years and, until relatively recently, despite his incredible craftsmanship, he’s flown under the radar. A few weeks ago, Rob’s longtime friend and colleague, legendary painter Joe Bell, organized a party at his paint shop that was part Roberson retrospective (with nearly a quarter of Rob’s 100ish custom bikes on display) and part celebration of San Diego‘s cycling community.
Josh stopped by the festivities on his way home from Sea Otter to document this momentous event. Check out the full gallery from the party below, including detailed looks at several bikes on display.
