Darcey's Beastie gets a bloody makeover. This bike has been through a lot over the last decade of Snowden slogs, Quadra quadbusting, Menzie mashing and Beaver lodge blasts. Originally Sam's 29plus daily rider, and in the "capable" hands of Darcey ever since, the poor girl needed a full spa treatment. Its going to get abused and splattered right away, so why not give it that messy paint look and take pictures in the rain to start!

Lyle's "gotta get behind the mule" Gravel Stallion
We get to be good friends with a lot of our customers and I always love a visit from Lyle. His enthusiasm and openness to life is infectious. You’re a good one buddy. Lyle was last seen grinning through the jungled pastures of northern Vancouver Island on either of his naked galloping donkeys stirring his brandy with a nail.
Tom waits says it better than I can:
Gotta get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
Dusty trail from Atchison to Placerville
On the wreck of the Weaverville stage
Beaula fired on Beatty for a lemonade
I was stirring my brandy with a nail boys
Stirring my brandy with a nail
Gotta get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
Well the rampaging sons of the widow James
Jack the cutter and the pock marked kid
Had to stand naked at the bottom
Of the cross
And tell the good lord what they did
Tell the good lord what they did
Gotta get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow

Richard's GrTi SS Gravel race "Disrupter"
This N.A.S.T.Y (Naked And Single Thank You) little disrupter is one of Richard’s team edition SS Gravel Race unicorns.
That’s alot of acronyms and nicknames.
Basically this thing goes like stink wherever the road ends and the good stuff begins.
Thankyou Richard for doing what you do on our bikes! Long live the disruption.

Dougal's Flying Purple Gravel Eater
“Well, I saw the thing coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shakin’ and I said oo-wee
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
One-eyed-one horned flying purple people eater
Sure looks good to me”
Dougal asked for a naked GrTi beastie he could use for:
“Gravel racing in Alberta/BC, plus gravel roads around Alberta/BC for training. Some light bike-packing might happen as well. Longer single day rides mostly. I'm looking for something with more space for tires than my CX bike, plus geometry more suited for gravel roads. Fender + rack mounts would be good. 3 bottle mounts….”
With PURPLE King bits, WeAreOne wheels and the new 1x12 Grx drivetrain on a spicy unicorn juiced naked GrTi frame, this thing is ready to fly and gobble up all the purple roads, trails and byways it can find.

Paul's Adept GrTi
My first truck was a bare bones, grey Nissan. 4spd. Manual everything. 2wd. single cab. Bench seat. 4 cylinder. Very little to go wrong. Easy to fix. Unpretentious and ridiculously loyal. it just worked. This is a great example of our “adept” base model Gr.
