Rodeo Labs Flaanimal 4.0 Unveiled

Woke up to see these amazing paint schemes on Insta this morning but there is so much more to these. Much lighter than 3.0 with so many useful features. This is a ridiculous deal at $1350 and you will never deal with a cooler company. Read all the way through.

I find that bike impressive.

[adub]

That's pretty sweet.

[NHAero]

Sweet! Geometry chart somewhere?

[559Rando]

Interesting.
+1 needs geo chart
I wished they handled their copy a little more carefully.

That's a lot of ground covered at a very nice price - especially with the multi-color paint. What's that thing above the rear brake bridge? Bottle opener? Anybody know who makes that front bar bag?

[heartattackride]

I’m seriously considering this and been waiting for the unveiling.
Be sure to check back for the full Flaanimal 4.0 product page, ordering page, and FAQ pages later in the week of January 2nd, 2018.

Nice - cool colors and the fork is very unique.

Bottle opener above brake bridge and the bags are Andrew the Maker. Link (https://www.andrewthemaker.com/blog/)

It’s a shame all the seattubes have the same graphic... :no: definitely not my thing. Maybe the blue one built up will change the aesthetic.

Seems like a cool bike, hope they sell a ton of them and we hear how they ride!

[R3awak3n]

definitely not into the graphics in the seat tube but its minor to me. I really like the blue one, its a pretty cool bike, nice price for what you get.

I just rebuilt my NFE or I would seriously be looking into this.

I want to build this with hydro campy or hydro etap, it would be excellent.

also the bottle opener is kind of lame, just a bit too much.

[Cicli]

The headtube looks horrible with those steel pipes hooked to it.
At least it could have a taper so it looks okay with a normal stem on there.

[heartattackride]

Would someone please educate me on electroplating for anti-rust protection they mention. Thanks

[charliedid]

If they were smarter they would offer a more subdued paint job.

The thing is a trainwreck IMO

I wonder how they ride though? People seem to like them.

Get your MAAP or Cadence kit and you are the business.

[unterhausen]

I like the bike a lot. Not sure about having holes everywhere to run things through the frame though. I'm impressed they can somehow fit a flat mount caliper in the rear triangle like that.

I want one of those forks.

[Davist]

can't get past the "crayon box" paint job..:confused:

[batman1425]

This is begging me to build a belt drive + internal gear hub back roads commuter project..... ugh...

[ptourkin]

Updated with geo.

[sonicCows]

That mid-stay break for belt-compatibility must add so much weight, I bet it'd be lighter at the dropout

I know!

My Wolverine has the same design and it's so heavy I am always late for work...

Funny not funny.

What is the brace for (I guess that's what to call it) right above the brake bridge?

Great SMALL company out of Denver. They are selling cool products that can be ridden anywhere... Road.. Gravel.. Trail.. whatever wherever you want.

I personally love the graphics on the new Frames and throughout their whole line... and the Spork (fork) is really cool.

Nice to see a small company making things that are totally useful here in Colorado. So many super cool rides off the beaten pass throughout the State that most people haven't ridden.

Check out the Blog on their site for some really really interesting write ups on some super fun rides around Colorado :):)

Everytime I see the name "flaanimal" I think "flannel," like I should wearing a flannel shirt and toting an axe. :cool:

I thinks that's the whole idea. The bike is an animal that can do/go just about anywhere but in "sheep's clothing" :)

[charliedid]

Aside from my disliking the designway and bottle opener I think those bikes are very cool.

I might even need to want one.
