Remember that ride after the first rain in four months? Yes…today was a good one.

Been some time since we had a high of 80 degrees and no smoke, taking full advantage. Happy September 1st 🍂

Terje’s fat/29+ built up in Norway! This geometry is almost the opposite of the latest trend. Effective seat angle is 71 deg, it’s got a 69 deg head angle, 690 front center and 434mm rear center with sliders forward. He knew he wanted a shorter front center bike with a more upright position for someone that is a 6’2”. Frame and fork fit a 29x3 or 27.5x4.5” tire with Paragon sliding dropouts to adjust chainstay length and tire clearance. Whether you know what you want or need help figuring out fit and geometry, custom is the way to go to dial in your next bike👍

There is some smoke out there (~160 AQI) but at least it’s not 100 deg…take what you can get right?! Hoping for the best outcome for those in fire affected areas, fingers crossed for an early start to winter 🤞☃️

Paul’s matte sea foam green 29+ to fit 3” tires (while they still make them - he stocked up). This is his second Meriwether, his first being a fatbike. To put the size of this frame in perspective, that’s a 200mm long head tube and an uncut steerer on the Fox fork. Custom geometry and fit for his style of riding and body dimensions. In order for him to build this up before the quickly approaching winter in the great white north, I pillaged the lightly used SRAM group off my fatbike since we don’t get winter anymore in California. Gotta get creative in these oddest of times. Hopefully he’ll send a few built pics when it’s out in the wild

Like this bike? Good, you should. It’s not a gravel bike, a monstercross, or a 90’s MTB with drop bars, it’s an OGATB and you should go read the blog I wrote about it…link in bio. #meriwethercycles
