Velo Orange

These are great bars.

Awesome frame!

I bought this for my Rivendell Roadeo with a threaded headset. Swapped right in replacing the 10mm spacer I had in there already, and it fit and looks great. The part came with some hardware just in case, but my spring bell had compatible threads and I just unscrewed it from the steel mount and screwed it back onto the spacer mount instead. Perfect!

The happy stem was just what I needed to make my frankenbike as comfortable as I knew it could be. Looks way better than the previous adjustable stem I had on there too.

Just finished rebuilding a 1981 Nishiki, the water bottle clamps were the finishing touch on this classic rebuild.
Thanks Velo Orange for making this possible.
Note: Planet Bike and Blackburn have water bottle cages that will work with these clamps, for that classic look.

I got the silver version of this seatpost and it is way better than expected. This thing is beautiful and it works really well. I needed to get my Brooks saddle a little farther back and this worked perfect. Easy to adjust as well compared to the one bolt seatposts.

Lightweight, stylish & well functioning. Thank you.

The Velo Orange Mojave water bottle cages are a fantastic addition to any cyclist's setup, blending style with substance seamlessly. Their sleek stainless construction not only enhances your bike's aesthetics but also ensures durability without adding unnecessary weight—perfect for those who prioritize both performance and appearance.
Installation was a breeze, thanks to the included mounting hardware, saving me time from fiddling with extra tools or parts. The secure grip these cages offer is impressive; they hold my bottles firmly in place even on rough terrain, yet allow easy removal when needed, which is crucial during long rides.
Versatility is another standout feature. These cages fit effortlessly across various bikes—from road to gravel, making them ideal for multi-sport enthusiasts.
Considering the quality and Velo Orange's reputable service, the Mojaves are an excellent investment offering great value for money. I highly recommend upgrading your bike with these cages—they've elevated both my riding experience and my bike's look!

I have the Equals on a Jones Plus MTB that I use for moderate trail riding, always in dry conditions.
I've ridden BB7s, Hayes CX Pro, Shimano CX77, and perhaps most relevantly, Paul Klampers- the only other boutique cable disc.
The Equals beat them all, including the Klampers. There are three things about the Equals that make them the best. First, the braking power- the cam that is inside the brake makes the power climb as you pull, while still minimizing pad rub. This brake is more powerful than any other cable disc. Second, the feel at the brake lever- this brake's internals have much less friction than other cable discs, and this is felt at the lever, they just have a very light, silky touch. Third, they are very light.
There are some minor issues- I lost the plugs for the pad adjuster bolts. The pad adjusters themselves are kind of hard to reach, especially on the rear if you are using a big rear cog. The cable clamp kind of crimps the cable in a way that makes it harder to reuse. The bolts that hold the brake together are JIS screwdriver bolts. Screwdriver? Come on, this is 2025. Give us Allen or Torx. This is the one area where the Klampers beat the Equals- Klampers are as easy as it gets to take apart and service, the Equals, not so much.

I wanted a flatbar gravel bike for bad roads and easy singletrack. I have short legs, and having passed the age of Medicare, my once-impressive flexibility isn't what it was. For those awkward mounts and dismounts when that easy singletrack isn't quite as easy as I had thought it was, I wanted one with a relatively low standover height, 700 mm or less. (Curiously, both Marin and Salsa had several models that met my spec on their web sites, but they didn't seem to exist in real life - nobody could get one in stock in the Denver-Boulder area where there are approximately 83 million cyclists and 400,000 bike shops.)

The solution was to buy the Low-Kicker frame with its 600 mm standover and have a local bike shop (Treehouse Cyclery in Denver) build it for me with:

Shimano Cues 1x10 drive train, 40/11-48, 170 mm cranks
Tiagra mechanical disk brakes
Jones Loop handlebars
VO Sabot platform pedals

For now, I have Kenda Drumlin 27.5x1.75 tube tires, but they are sort of heavy and I may switch to wider tubeless tires some time.

After a dozen or so rides, I have things dialed in, and I'm pretty happy with it. I can't claim I have the expertise to judge that it's better or any worse than any other steel frame for comfort and handling, but it works for me.

A minor issue: on the size medium frame with 27.5x1.75 tires, you may find that your size 9.5 shoes hit the front fender if pedaling while cornering. (The center-to-center dimension from the bottom bracket to the front axle is shorter than on any of the five 26" or 700c bikes in our fleet.) For this reason, I got the sort of mud guard that clips to the down tube instead of a regular front fender. If you get the smallest frame and want fenders, consider building it for 26" wheels.

Relaxed angle but not to high. Perfect for my Trek 470 retro modded street fighter.

Great quality printed t-shirt, that fits true to size. It's a fun design that represents Velo Orange well. It's printed on Comfort Colors, which in my opinion, are the most comfortable cotton shirts available.

Very simple product, works exactly as intended. I recommend using cork or something similar to protect the paint on your frame.

Only other options for 36 are $100-320 more. There are only two others and they also good options. For price and weight and strength these are great. They feel very high quality. While they aren't high engagement they feel fine so far. I did not change the stock grease out. I might still.

The matching fronts that come with support for three axle types are also great. Built with some nice velocity aero rims 32/36 spokes.

Yep
