GAIA

Explore all the planet has to offer with the GAIA women' specific mountain bike. Developed by BRENT RUEGAMER from years of racing as a Pro Mountain biker and Xterra off road triathlon Pro this bike is designed to take you when and where you want to go, fast! With the GAIA the geometry is always optimized for the best balance of climbing and descending properties. Featuring specifically built seat and chainstays to give you the best mud clearing room while still keeping the dimensions tight for better stiffness and handling.

Each and every GAIA 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 GAIA 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' 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' 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!
