How'd you do that?
Finally! A racing disc brake bike built to run wide tires! And a fender option too!
There are people that believe what's written in a magazine, and people that want to see for themselves. While there have been a few magazine articles referencing the Rodriguez ultra-light steel bikes, we do not advertise in magazines, and no magazine has ever asked to ride one and review it. That's because we don't buy $10,000 advertisements....see how that works? The Rodriguez ultra-light steel bikes sell themselves, and are truly the fly-weight bikes for the person who is not swayed by an "article" written in a magazine (usually opposite the ad for that same bicycle). No longer do you have to give up
all the advantages of a custom steel frame to save weight.
Sizes: All of our bikes are offered in 20 production sizes . If you don't fit one of our production sizes, a custom size frame in any model is just $200 extra.
No Sacrifice!
The Rodriguez Bandito™ gives you all the bragging rights of having the the lightest disc brake bike, as well as the most comfortable and best fitting bike in the pack. The Bandito™ rides comfortably like a steel bike because it is a steel bike. You've got to be careful though, one ride and you may be hooked like what happened to Steve.
