Scarab Cycles

We’ve been working with Scarab Cycles for a while. Their workshop in Colombia turns out beautiful and ultralight steel frames. The Paramo is labeled after the ecosystem in the high Andes. It’s made from Kaisei tubes and runs our Hurricane Ridge 700C x 42 mm dual-purpose knobbies. Exactly the bike I’d want for the long climbs, gravel trails and incredible descents of its home country! We’ve been promised a test bike for Bicycle Quarterly.

That would be a rather nice "consolation" to your not landing the Serotta.

I know a couple of folks who have them. And I rode one of their scarabs too. They are excellent bikes and if I had all the money and space and time in the world I would own one to fit into my “gravel steel bike” slot.
