BELLE TRIThe BELLE TRI is a serious race machine for those who are interested in getting the most out of their multisport life. The BELLE TRI has been specifically developed as a result of input from our Professional athletes like former World Champion Jacqui Lockwood and by retired Pro Triathlete/Duathlete Brent Ruegamer himself. The concept of design in the BELLE TRI uses small cross section semi-aero tubing to help keep the bike from catching too much cross wind and acting like a sail, while giving you the aerodynamics and triathlon positioning you need to do your best. This translates into less energy you have to use in order to keep the bike going in a straight line and more confidence to stay in the aero position longer, even on windy days. This design has been tested out on the Ironman Arizona and Ironman Hawaii courses with great effect. Each and every BELLE TRI is a one of a kind handcrafted work of art that is custom made as the rider wishes. With Ruegamer we give the rider many more options than any other "custom builder" out there. Here at Ruegamer we like to start out with the riders themselves; we take your size, shape, weight and intended use all into account when we build your frame. This way we are able to custom tune the frame to perfectly fit your needs. We are also specialists in the realm of fitting and making bikes for women. We currently work exclusively with Jeff and Jacqui Lockwood of Lifesport, who offer coaching, ergonomics and specialized fitting here in Chandler, AZ. and have conducted studies of the effect that fit, bike weight and crank length have on women riders. Of course every BELLE TRI we build is fully custom with its geometry to the rider. Like sloping top tubes, great! Like a more traditional horizontal top tube, cool, it's yours! Want an extended seat tube all the way up to the saddle, done! We like to let the rider choose their tube size; do you like big fat tubes or smaller more selvete tubes? Your bike, your choice. Then you get to choose the look of the carbon do you like unidirectional material, plain weave or twill weave? Do you like a smaller weave like 3k or do you like a bigger weave like 12k. The choice is yours! Do you like the look of internal routed cables or are external cables your deal? You got it, it's your bike, you choose! Well, now that you kind of have an overall idea of how your bike is going to look you get to the single hardest thing with building a custom bike, deciding on the paint job! We give you the option of a couple of eye-catching schemes to help this along. You get to choose any two-color stock schemes. If you want something truly custom of your own design we are very glad to accommodate your ideas and will work with you to create that very special custom look you are dreaming of. You can even have us color match your special favorite flavor of color! More options you say? In addition with the basic frame options you are also given the choice from two diameters of an integrated bottom bracket shell that will suit your choice of cranks as well as the standard English or Italian threaded shell. Have a special seat post that you want to have fit your new ride? The option of a 27.2 or 31.6 seat post size, or fully custom seat tube size is up to you! No one on the planet gives you these kinds of choices! We also offer custom machined length cranks with our frames and special handlebars to make sure each and every rider is getting the most out of her ride. Because we have helped women from 4'8" up to 6'3" you can rest assured that we are very familiar with all body types. This bike has been designed with one thing in mind, GO! Quick Specs
