As you know, our love for bikes isn’t driven solely by super performance and the latest tech. Most of the time, it’s all about simplicity. After all, bikes should be simple machines and this build is a perfect example.

The Marin Bikes Nicasio is one of those underrated frames out there. With massive tire clearance and capable, versatile geometry, it’s built to go just about anywhere. And this one, finished in a stunning emerald green, brings just the right amount of spice. Truly a beautiful frame.

Now, onto the exciting part: the drivetrain. We went with GRX derailleurs paired with The Goats CX brifters and Yokozuna Ultimo mech-hydro calipers, leaning heavily into a hyper-mechanical setup—just like our recent Midnight Special build (link below).

But the owner still wanted a few performance upgrades in all the right places. Enter the carbon gravel wheels from lunwheels, the Ritchey -- Official cockpit, and our very own evadecomponents Batwing Carbon.

Thanks, Boss Dan, for entrusting us with another build! Looking forward to our next ride and seeing this beauty in action. Do you have a dream build in mind? Drop by the cycling clubhouse, let’s make it happen!

Rainy season is AssSavers season.

Win Wings are flying off the shelves right now. Cop yours before they’re gone and keep the spray where it belongs.

Liam had an idea. He wanted to see if he could take a hardtail mountain bike and build it into a CONVERTIBLE gravel bike, and the results surprised even him.

Using a Surly Sorceress as the base of this build, he constructed a modular cockpit meaning that he could switch the bike from mountain bike mode to gravel bike mode in just about five minutes. But can a mountain bike really do gravel all that well?

To the brim. One of the most exquisite builds to roll into the shop, a No. 22 Bicycle Company Rambler.

It only needed a minor brake check and one sensible upgrade, a set of absoluteBLACK GraphenPads. A small detail that makes perfect sense for a bike of this caliber, and always a pleasure to install.

Builds like this have a way of turning an ordinary day at the shop into something special.

The weekend is just around the corner. Drop by the Cycling Clubhouse for a great cup of coffee, good bike chat, and maybe your next upgrade. See you at Dave Bikes.
