Building a bike “a la carte” is an experience that we hope every rider is able to brag about at some point. When it came time to build the perfect bike, component by component for a colleague’s new ride, no part of the build was left to chance. Our buddy James chose a modern RAAW Jibb frame as the base or “canvas” upon which to paint his masterpiece. The amazing frame was met with only the best in componentry, starting with the newly released MATTOC LE modern throwback fork… paired with the PURPLE HAYES LE brakes bestowed this build not only the pinnacle of performance for suspension and braking but also the highest degree of authenticity and historic credibility as well. It didn't matter that it was 15 degrees outside and blowing wind, the stoke to ride this build cut right all of that. Now we cant wait for some hospitable temperatures to take this absolute looker of a bike out to turn some heads.
