Two years in the making… When I first bought my frame I never imagined what the end result would look like. So many people had a hand in making this build happen and there are not enough words to express my gratitude to each and every one of them. Inspired by the countries of mi padres šŸ‡¬šŸ‡¹+šŸ‡­šŸ‡³ and the beautiful birds of those countries @rosieontheriverbed created this beautiful design. From there Oliver @darkmatterfinishing put paint to frame and brought to life Rosie’s work. @hsalcedo14 was integral in helping me aquire all of the @sramroad pieces i needed along with @incyclebicycles . Finally @j.a.stroud put it all together. Shouts to @salazarxs for the fire shots. Cannot wait to take this on my stupid birthday ride. Love you all and thank you 🄹

Talk about a #throwbackthursday. On Friday Oct 11 @formulafixed is gathering a bunch of talented fixie fools to compete with and for each other. It was the #trackbike that gave me my start in cycling both as a competitive sport and a career. From bopping around NYC (yuuuurrrrr!) delivering all sorts of nonsense to kissena, to red hook and beyond. Things were crazy, things were wild and things were fun. So many friends were made along the way. I’m in a different place now. I’ve found a new place to be wild in the dirt (and air) and met new people to do it with. However, it all started with fixies and that community. I love you all even if we haven’t seen each other for years ā¤ļøšŸ’™šŸ–¤. Now… lets go race šŸšŸšŸ

Because my new bike for 2024 has an integrated bar and stem, I wanted to get a pre-fit before submitting the order. Several friends and riders I respect recommended Carla @cmnorthy , and she lived up to the hype! Not only did she get my fit dialed in using the @retul_technology Müve bike, but she also made custom insoles, which have somehow made my @quocshoes even more comfortable. Immediately I noticed improvements in my knee tracking and power transfer. Embarrassingly, I had my cleats pointing the wrong way, and I was getting a lot of pressure on the outside of my right foot. The adjusted cleat position felt strange at first, but after a few minutes, I was shocked by how secure my pedal stroke felt. I also gained about 30w... but that was because I forgot to calibrate my power meter when I put the pedals back on my bike 😜 If you’re near LA, I 100% recommend working with Carla. She knows her stuff and can get you set up and ready for an awesome 2024 on the bike. šŸ“¹ @soysaucestewart

Wonderful morning filled with smiles, coffee and much purple. Its a warm feeling that someone who left us so unexpectedly could bring us all together on a chilly morning to catch up and enjoy each other. Thank you Panda. We all miss you buddy šŸ’œšŸ¼. #debitirarmasfotos

I have been racing since 2019. Almost always on my own or just working with someone on the day. My first opportunity to be on a team was disrupted by the pandemic. So to say that I have been stoked on this @wearepwr.racing team is a bit of an understatement. All of the women of pwr are amazing, strong and beautiful but especially our fearless leaders @rema_loves_bikes and @deleincolor . They came to me with a real vision for what they wanted: a team built by women for women. They pitched me when I didn’t need to be pitched and now the results have been coming for us. We are just getting started and thank you to all my ladies @_rebecca_n @quinteros_erika_ and all of the women of PWR. Lets really get it! Special shout out to my coach @dani_mariea for kicking my ass into shape

This isn’t just a bike fit… it’s a performance upgrade. When your position is locked in, speed follows. āš”ļø Carla went full send dialing in this Specialized S-Works Shiv TT, fine-tuning the three main categories: cockpit, saddle position, and cleat alignment. Every micro adjustment means more watts, better comfort, and a more aggressive aero position when it matters most. #incyclebicycles #iamspecialized #iamspecialized_road #specializedshiv #specializedshivtt

Fit matters—and so does style. Happy Birthday to Carla and cheers to her stunning Specialized Tarmac SL8 RTP build featuring a custom paint job, SRAM RED, and CLX III wheels. When the bike fitter builds her own ride, you know every detail is dialed. Absolute perfection šŸ‘ŒšŸ”„ #iamspecialized_road #tarmacsl8
