Super Portability!Over the last 10 years, we've noticed a dramatic increase in the amount of people buying touring bikes. At R+E Cycles, we've always built a lot of touring bikes, but the invention of S&S couplings has spawned a different kind of adventurer, the Ultimate Traveller. You see, when a bike is equipped with S&S couplings, it can be packed into a suitcase (sold separately) that is 26" X 26". This means there are really no limits to where you can travel with this bike. Our customers love their Rodriguez Ultimate Travel Bikes, and we love our customers. Pictured here is the largest W2 (size 9S) in the box and ready for closing the lid. This bike belongs to a 6' 3" customer.
15 sizes plus custom Fit = Comfort = Better Performance
The story of this bike In 2005, I asked Willie to help me design an Ultimate Touring Bike that we could offer to our customers at a 'lower than custom' price (until 2005, a bike of this magnitude was only available through our custom option). He, as usual, was full of magnificent ideas and we came up with a fantastic new design. The resulting design we named the W2 (Willie Weir or World Wide) Adventure. The UTB has since become one of our most popular models. Thanks Willie, and all of you UTB riders out there who keep telling others about our bikes! The 2009 model is made from True Temper OX Platinum tubing, this bike still has all of the versatility as the original model, but weighs a bit less. We are also incorporating our Trillium Big-Squeeze brakes into the Veloce level and above.
Rohloff Speedhub This year, we've added a Rohloff drive version for the W2 Adventure. We've built several of these, and developed a clean way of incorporating this unique design into a versatile touring bike. The Rodriguez Adventure W2 is ready for anything.
