Moots Vamoots DR Custom Dream Build!

Many people know that Moots is synonymous for performance and high quality. These beautiful frames have been handcrafted of titanium with love in Colorado for decades. I can now personally attest to this quality and pride in workmanship and I am excited to announce Ride-a-Bike as a Moots dealer.

To make a splash with our newly found relationship with Moots, I decided to build a disc road bike focused on comfort and endurance. I wanted this build to not only be a showcase to the limitless possibilities of custom bike building we can do here at Ride-a-Bike, but to also show off the NoGas custom wheel program with a lovely set of turquoise R45 centerlock, thru axle hubs. All the while, this bike will be put through the rigors of Western and Piedmont North Carolina scenic AND rough roads. 

I'll let the build spec and pictures do the talking. If you would like to check this bike out in person or you have any questions about building a custom road, mountain or gravel bike AND/OR wheels, please do not hesitate to contact me at calvin@rideabike.com.
